The Next Generation Of Cloud Management And Automation

The use of conventional IT infrastructures has been gradually replaced by cloud-based technologies over the years. In recent years, cloud computing has been considered a more dependable and affordable alternative. Traditional computing is a concept that is easily explained. Physical data centers have traditionally been used to store digital data and administer the whole network infrastructure for a business. As a result, users of traditional computing can only access the data that is kept on the system on which it is kept, not the data that is kept on other devices or networks to which they are linked. Whereas cloud…

Delegate Common Tasks With An Open Source Automation Tool

Rundeck is an open source software used to quickly automate manual tasks. Use it to create workflows consisting of commands, scripts, and APIs. A key precept for site reliability engineering (SRE), platform engineering, and *Ops teams is automating non-essential toil. Think of toil as any tasks that must be done for systems to run smoothly but don’t directly impact functionality. Tasks like running security updates and installing or upgrading packages fall into the toil category. As teams become more proficient at creating automation, automating for other teams becomes more appealing. Delegating tasks to other technical teams so they can self-serve saves…

The Good And Bad Of ‘Zero-Touch’ Cloud Operations

We’re getting closer to true zero-touch cloud operations, or so we keep hearing. Take a clear-eyed look at the advantages and disadvantages before jumping in. Zero-touch cloud operations is the concept of automating cloud operations (cloudops) processes to minimize the need for human intervention. Specifically, it involves automating the deployment, configuration, scaling, monitoring, and resolution of issues on all cloud platforms (public and private), and even extends to traditional legacy systems and edge computing systems as well. Physically, it is a layer of technology running above the cloud providers (e.g., a metacloud). It can be anything that’s able to automate cloudops,…
