Which of the following is considered best practices when using definition files for the provisioning of Linus servers to the cloud?

Build automation focuses on compiling code and creating artifacts, which is a step in the software development lifecycle, but not the primary best practice for defining and deploying cloud server infrastructure.

In modern cloud environments, a best practice for consuming Linux servers, especially for applications, involves deploying them as part of a containerized ecosystem. Using definition files for container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes manifests) allows for declarative management of applications and their underlying Linux server resources, ensuring scalable, resilient, and consistent deployments.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a foundational concept for managing infrastructure with code, but in modern cloud deployments, container orchestration represents a more specific best practice for managing applications on those provisioned Linux servers.

Continuous integration is a development practice focused on frequently integrating code changes, separate from the best practices for provisioning and defining cloud server infrastructure using definition files.
