Here this research explains automating infrastructure as code using CI/CD pipelines that revolutionized hybrid cloud management. Hybrid cloud environments integrate public and private cloud infrastructure. IaC ensures consistent provisioning, configuration and management of cloud resources while eliminating manual intervention. CI/CD pipelines streamline deployment and optimize resource utilization. Organizations increasingly rely on automation to develop security, scalability and operational efficiency. Despite its advantages hybrid cloud automation introduces challenges like integration complexities, compliance and security risks. Also, the research chooses secondary data to provide specific information about hybrid cloud automation and collects so much authentic data from several secondary sources. Such as secondary sources like - scholars, websites, newspapers, reports, case studies. Here this research also uses thematic data analysis, qualitative method and an inductive approach to crucially prove the main aim and objectives with specific information. Also, the research examines how enterprises leverage IaC and CI/CD pipelines for hybrid cloud efficiency. It analyzes industry trends, sans security automation strategies to highlight actionable insights. Moreover, this research explores key challenges to hybrid cloud efficiency.
