There is no way that you can make it without automation. The cloud industrialization (revolution) is based on controlled automation.
In software we are trying to translate the real world process and behaviors, in order to help people, use their time in the most effective way. To do the cloud revolution you need to translate your company enterprise architectures, solution architecture, all architecture into metadata, that in turn can be handle by algorithms.
The Architectural Metadata is the foundation of Azure DevOps Factory. It is what allows to all sorts of nice, fluid process, that actual serve Security, Developers, Operations, Governance, Auditors and more.
In any automation scenario you need an orchestrator, a system that can read your Architectural Metadata and trigger all necessary executions, like: scripts, APIs, workflows, communications, etc..
