 This baseline test verifies that Cassandra 5.0.5 is installed and running correctly on the VM. It confirms the node status, allows connection via `cqlsh`, and ensures basic operations like creating a keyspace, table, inserting, and querying data work as expected.

+## Automating Arm Based Infrastructure Deployment
+
+Cloud infrastructure deployment is typically done via Infrastructure as code (IaC) automation tools. There are Cloud Service Provider specific tools like [Google Cloud Deployment Manager](https://cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/docs/).
+
+There are also Cloud Service Provider agnostic tools like [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/).There is a [deploying Arm VMs on (GCP) using Terraform learning path](/learning-paths/servers-and-cloud-computing/gcp) that should be reviewed next.
