Manual Resource Provisioning
Manual resource provisioning is the process of manually setting up, configuring, and deploying computing resources such as servers, storage, and networking components for applications or services. It involves hands-on tasks like installing operating systems, configuring software, and managing hardware without automation tools. This approach is often used in traditional IT environments where resources are managed on-premises or in early-stage cloud deployments.
Developers should learn manual resource provisioning to understand the foundational concepts of infrastructure management, which is crucial for troubleshooting and optimizing automated systems. It is particularly useful in small-scale projects, legacy systems, or environments with strict security and compliance requirements where automation might not be feasible. However, it is generally less efficient for large-scale or dynamic applications compared to automated methods.
