This course provides a complete introduction to configuration management in cloud computing environments. Students will learn how modern organizations use automation to manage, deploy, and maintain infrastructure across cloud platforms efficiently and at scale.

The course begins with the fundamentals of configuration management and explains how it ensures consistency, reliability, and control over IT systems. Learners will understand how configuration management reduces manual intervention, prevents configuration drift, and supports stable infrastructure across distributed environments.

Students will then explore how configuration management is applied in cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and other modern cloud infrastructures. The course introduces Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concepts, showing how infrastructure can be defined, deployed, and managed using automation tools and declarative configurations.

In addition, learners will study how cloud-based configuration management integrates with DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines. The course covers automation workflows, scalable deployment strategies, and best practices for managing dynamic cloud resources.

By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of how configuration management works in cloud environments and how it supports scalable
