Talking of DevOps practices like infrastructure automation,there are lots of great tools out there for large enterprise applications. However, for small applications, it would be an overkill like using a sledge hammer for a fly. So why would I use Infrastructure as Code System such as Terraform, or Configuration Management System Chef, Ansible, Puppet; when I can simply fly with this 5mins installation guide 😜 (just kidding, I am learning them 📚)

I regularly update the installation steps so get the Github gist for the most recent.
