IT automation refers to using scripts, tools, and software (like Ansible, Puppet, or PowerShell) to perform repetitive IT tasks—such as provisioning servers, deploying software, or applying patches—without manual intervention. System administrators and DevOps engineers use it to reduce human error, speed up operations, and free staff for higher-value work. It's a core component of modern infrastructure-as-code and continuous deployment practices.
