It is a consistent, robust, well-maintained alternative to clicking in a web interface or writing custom provisioning code against the cloud provider's API.
This tutorial will show code and runtime examples of deploying various types of cloud infrastructure in AWS, Google Compute Engine, and others. Interactivity is unfortunately not offered due to the logistics of billing for arbitrary cloud resources.
