How can I automate cloud configuration management?

You can automate cloud configuration management using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or AWS CloudFormation. These tools help manage infrastructure as code.

What are the benefits of using Terraform for this?

Terraform allows for version control of your infrastructure, easy collaboration, and the ability to manage resources across multiple cloud providers.

Can you give me an example of a simple Terraform script?

Sure! Here's a basic example that creates an AWS S3 bucket:

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-east-1"
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "my_bucket" {
  bucket = "my-unique-bucket-name"
  acl    = "private"
}

How do I apply this script?

You can apply the script by running terraform init to initialize the directory, followed by terraform apply to create the resources.
