1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
processing at least one user request to perform configuration operations on two or more cloud services components, wherein at least one of the two or more cloud services components is user-controlled, wherein processing the at least one user request comprises processing user-provided environmental information pertaining to one or more of the at least one user and at least a portion of the two or more cloud services components;
generating, using at least one rule-based configuration orchestrator, one or more automation files containing one or more workflows related to configuration operations on the two or more cloud services components, wherein generating the one or more automation files comprises inputting, in the one or more automation files, at least a portion of the user-provided environmental information;
outputting at least a portion of the one or more automation files containing at least a portion of the one or more workflows related to configuration operations on the at least one user-controlled cloud services component to at least one secure storage area accessible to the at least one user via one or more cryptographic techniques;
processing feedback pertaining to user execution of the at least a portion of the one or more automation files containing at least a portion of the one or more workflows related to configuration operations on the at least one user-controlled cloud services component; and
performing one or more automated actions based at least in part on the feedback;
wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
