What are Automation, Scaling and Infrastructure?

Automation:

Automation is one of the important aspects of the DevOps Methodology. It enables the team to move faster in process of developing and deploying high-end applications. Automation starts from the code generation on the developer's machine, until the code is pushed to the code and after that to monitor the application and system in the production.

Automation in DevOps boosts speed, consistency, higher accuracy, and reliability, and increases the number of deliveries.

Scaling:

The scaling concept in DevOps is the ability to efficiently and effectively manage large and complex systems or applications, as well as rapidly respond to the changes in the demand of the workload.

Infrastructure :

Infrastructure in DevOps refers to the technology and resources required to support the development, testing, and deployment of software applications. Infrastructure includes hardware, software, networks, servers, databases, and other resources that are needed to run an application.
