Abstract
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the integration of new services demands a dynamic and resilient infrastructure that can adapt to changing business requirements with minimal disruption. Automation in infrastructure tools has emerged as a key enabler in this context, streamlining the deployment, configuration, and management processes while reducing the potential for human error. This paper examines the role of automation in facilitating new service integration, focusing on methodologies such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and container orchestration. By leveraging these automation techniques, organizations can achieve enhanced scalability, improved operational consistency, and reduced time-to-market for new services. The discussion further highlights challenges such as maintaining security, ensuring compatibility with legacy systems, and managing the complexity of automated environments. Overall, the integration of automation in infrastructure management not only supports a more agile service deployment framework but also paves the way for sustained innovation and operational excellence in the digital era.
