What service does OCI provide for automating deployments in the cloud?

OCI Resource Manager is designed specifically for automating deployments in the cloud by facilitating the management of infrastructure as code. It leverages Terraform, an open-source tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently.

With OCI Resource Manager, users can define the desired state of their infrastructure using configuration files. This service allows you to automate the creation, update, and deletion of resources in a consistent and reliable manner. By utilizing Terraform templates, you can version control your infrastructure and collaborate more effectively.

This service streamlines the deployment process, reduces the risk of human error, and enables faster provisioning of cloud resources, aligning well with modern DevOps practices where infrastructure management is treated similarly to software development. Through OCI Resource Manager, users can maintain a more agile and flexible cloud environment, easily adapting to changes in application requirements.
