Automation & robots are here to stay. We're increasingly applying RPA across business processes & IT management, why not cloud management too? The faster we leverage it, the faster we put our business ahead of the curve. Every cloud management bot or workflow that you create, is 100% automated
Attended automation workflows are like DevOps assistants, helping every DevOps engineer maximize his productivity. It performs a defined action whenever you particularly need it to run, or takes your approval before performing any action. Creates human-bot synergy, where you still have complete control over its functions.
Unattended bots execute their logical flow based on a pre-set schedule or 'trigger' - and they run without any manual intervention, independently. Let's say you want your servers to be started & stopped everyday based on usage, you can turn the unattended bot live and let it run.
Your automation bot can be instructed to run based on multiple factors
Time - You want an action to happen periodically, like generating a report every week, or scheduling a backup of servers everyday
Events & Alarms - Workflows can be triggered in response to an event or an alarm, for example, increasing EBS volume size when DiskSpaceUtilization crosses 90%
Manual Triggers - If you want to run actions only rarely as a one-time thing, trigger it manually in real-time, like provisioning new resources
External Systems - Directly integrate systems like JIRA, or your ITSM systems, so when a ticket is raised, a workflow is kicked off
Hands free cloud automation enables your organization to get a lot more done, rids you of repetitive tasks and makes your processes error-free. Your actual DevOps engineers could be performing value-add activities, and handover cloud management to virtual bots. Here’s a workflow that auto-remediates a case where EBS DSU crosses 90%.
Any action that you can program today using the cloud provider’s SDK, you can do with workflow, minus the code. So you’re not just automating the basic, repetitive tasks, but any complex action as well.
Deploy applications & provision containers
Monitor cloud best practices, security, cost & performance monitoring
