Script automation involves the use of automation software to leverage the current scripts within your framework. In this course, you'll explore the benefits of Infrastructure as a Code and Configuration as a Code, the role of Python in configuring AWS resources, and the automation capabilities of Azure. You'll learn about the differences between PowerShell runbooks and PowerShell Workflow runbooks, how to install Python for AWS to manage AWS S3 buckets, and write Python code to retrieve AWS EC2 information and manage AWS S3 buckets. Next, you'll examine how to set up automated deployments in AWS and create an Azure Automation account. Finally, you'll learn how to create and publish PowerShell runbooks, create Python runbooks to start Azure VMs, execute scripts using Bash Interpreter in Chef, and use Chef Recipes to run scripts and handle configuration changes in AWS.
