A Hands-On Guide to System Administration and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The following C++ project simulates an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Monitoring and Automation Tool  which: collects system details store configurations in JSON-like format simulates deploying infrastructure configurations Output ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Step 1 . Set up the project in Visual Studio by creating a new Console App (C++) project. Step 2: Name the project ' DevOpsTool '. Step 3: Ensure the IDE is configured to use the Developer PowerShell terminal.  This is helpful because the Developer PowerShell is more powerful than a command prompt.  Source: Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt and Developer PowerShell. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/command-prompt-powershell?view=vs-2022 Step 4: Add the required libraries.      #include <iostream>...
