I've been working with Linux and BSD for so long, I don't even know of any Microsoft-only cloud applications. I'm completely *nix bubbled.

Yes, there are things like Puppet and Ansible for Windows. Two good examples are Puppet and Ansible. https://puppet.com/use-cases/windows-infrastructure-automation/ https://puppet.com/use-cases/windows-infrastructure-automati... https://www.ansible.com/integrations/infrastructure/windows https://www.ansible.com/integrations/infrastructure/windows There's also Desired State Configuration https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/dsc/overview/overview?view=powershell-7 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/dsc/ov... There's also Group Policy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_Policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_Policy There's probably a thousand different ways to automatically deploy and manage Windows servers. Its been a thing since at least NT.
