Best Practices for Infrastructure Management on Cloud

With the increasing use of Cloud computing platforms, it is very crucial to master best practices for infrastructure management.

This article lays out some of them that you could use on AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or Microsoft Azure.

The following lines describe how you can apply these principles to each platform.
