I've been working with Linux and BSD for so long, I don't even know of any Microsoft-only cloud applications. I'm completely *nix bubbled. I cannot imagine cloud programming on windows, probably because I only write user-space native apps. Is there a Puppet or Ansible for windows? I'd be completely lost.


Yes, there are things like Puppet and Ansible for Windows. Two good examples are Puppet and Ansible.

https://www.ansible.com/integrations/infrastructure/windows

There's also Desired State Configuration

There's also Group Policy.

There's probably a thousand different ways to automatically deploy and manage Windows servers. Its been a thing since at least NT.


Yes, it’s called Ansible
