+# Infrastructure as Code - IaC
+
+Infrastructure As Code (IaC) is a methodology in which scripts automate infrastructure and configuration management. IaC tools allow you to abstract away details about your physical environment, allowing you to focus on what matters. It brings several benefits.
+
+
+**Cost reduction**: By automating time-consuming, frequent, and repeatable tasks, like configuring compute instances and storage, businesses can minimize costs.
+
+**Flexibility**: Modify the parameter of deployed resources by simply changing a variable.
+
+**Speed**: IaC allows automation for everything, leading to quicker provisioning and Time to Market.
+
+**Consistency** IaC makes it possible to avoid human errors and inconsistency and minimize drift over time.
+
+# Declarative Automation
+
+In this scenario the desired end-state of the resource is declared, The provider takes care of all the steps needed to achieve the desired state.
+
+***Adopt it when:***
+
+1.        The required OCI Resources are available in Terraform for the scope of the automation;
+
+2.      Provisioning cloud-native OCI Infrastructure and (1) exists;
+
+3.      Change OCI Infrastructure that was provisioned with this method (2) and (1) exists;
+
+4.      Terraform practice is known.
+
+***Prerequisites***
+
+- Decide on  **Git repository organization**  for shared code and dedicated configurations.
+- Decide on  **Orchestration technology**.
+- Decide on  **State file resource scope**. This decision can influence how many root modules you have. A good segmentation rule is to base state file granularity on resources that are bound to be together, such as Environment Type, OCI Region, etc.
+- Decide on the  **Module granularity**. This is related to the  **state file ** decision and  **data structures**  in the  **tfvars**  files.
+
+
+
+
+# Procedural Automation
+
+Enables Operations automation using a procedural approach, with command line & scripting.
+
+Procedural automation consists of a set of activities required to achieve the goal of the automation.  Procedural systems are general in application and are capable of any automation task.
+
+***Possible use cases***
+
+1.      Provision workloads resources such as ExaCS and DBCS;
+2.      Provisioning OCI Resources that don't have OCI cloud-native interfaces;
+3.      Targeting lifecycle operations on workloads or resources after provisioning;
+4.      Targeting configuration management operations on workloads or resources.
+
+
+***Prerequisites***
+
+- Decide on  **Git repository organization**  for shared code and dedicated configurations
+- Decide on  **Orchestration technology**.
+- Identifying the  **Operational Scenarios**  and prioritizing them based on the frequency of use and effort.
+- Decide on the  **scripting**  technology.

+# OCI Operations Tools
+
+This chapter illustrates the tools available to support OCI Operations.
+
+| **Component** | **Description** |
+| --- | --- |
+| [**Cloud Shell**](https://docs.oracle.com/es-ww/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/cloudshellintro.htm) | Cloud Shell is a free-to-use browser-based terminal accessible from the Oracle Cloud Console that provides access to a Linux shell with pre-authenticated OCI CLI  |
+| **Continuous Delivery Operations** | For advanced operations using continuous delivery patterns, we proposed the following GitOps patterns: •  **Declarative Operations** : focus on operating  **tfvars**  files that will be used to create and update infrastructure in OCI using Terraform•  **Procedural Operations** : focus on operating  **playbooks**  that will be used to interact with specific resources and their lifecycle or configurations using Ansible |
+| [**OCI REST APIs**](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/usingapi.htm) | OCI APIs are the common technical interface, used by all other components below, for OCI interactions. OCI APIs are REST APIs that use HTTPS requests and responses. All API requests support HTTPS and SSL protocol TLS 1.2. |
+| [**DevOps Tools**](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/devopstools_topic-DevOps_Tools_and_Plugins.htm) | OCI provides several DevOps tools and plug-ins for working with OCI services. These can simplify provisioning and managing infrastructure or enable automated testing and continuous delivery: Ansible Collection, OCI Modules for PowerShell, Compute Jenkins Plug-in, Chef Knife Plug-in, Grafana Plug-in, Terraform Kubernetes Installer, Kubernetes Volume Provisioner, Jenkins X Integration, Packer Integration|
+| [**SDKs**](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/sdks.htm) | SDKs provide the tools you need to develop an app, including code samples and documentation to create, test, and troubleshoot. SDKs Available: SDK for Java, Python, for TypeScript and JavaScript, .NET, Go, and Ruby 
+|
+[**OCI CLI**](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/cliconcepts.htm#Command_Line_Interface_CLI) | The OCI CLI provides the same core capabilities as the OCI Console and provides additional commands that can extend the Console's functionality. The CLI is convenient for developers, operations, or anyone who prefers the command line to a GUI.The OCI CLI is built on the OCI SDK for Python and runs on Mac, Windows, or Linux. |
+| [**Terraform**](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/terraformgettingstarted.htm) | The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provider allows you to use Terraform to interact with OCI resources. Wherever you use a Terraform distribution you can use the OCI Terraform provider, including Terraform Cloud and the OCI Resource Manager |
+| **PL/SQL SDK** | The SDK for PL/SQL enables you to write PL/SQL code to manage OCI resources. 
+| **OCI Console** | The web-based user interface you can use to access and manage OCI.  |
