Cloud Automation & Orchestration

Cloud Automation and Orchestration has become a critical part of the multi-cloud and hybrid IT infrastructure for most major enterprises. But being in the cloud does not simply mean storing critical data there—cloud jobs and workloads can be automated to perform essential tasks that support the business and significantly boost business efficiency and productivity.

Cloud Automation

  • Cloud automation enables IT and cloud admins to automate manual processes by using technology that performs tasks with reduced human assistance in order to unite cloud management processes.
  • When done correctly, cloud automation is less dependent on people or processes and more dependent on frameworks that automate the provisioning of resources. The time frame to provision and deploy goes down from months to minutes. Cloud automation models are also easy to templatize and document, so that you can troubleshoot, optimize, and repeat a successful model over and over again.
  • There are three main benefits to cloud automation:
  1. Cloud Automation provides autoscaling as deployments can automatically scale resources to meet workload demands as they arise.
  2. Nothing will be misconfigured or changed out of the process, and users have clear expectations about the compute resources they are accessing.
  3. Cloud automation helps reduce error-prone manual processes and deliver infrastructure resources faster.
  • Cloud automation reduces costs by dynamically reducing the time it takes to provision infrastructure resources, eliminating errors and removing bottlenecks.

Cloud Orchestration

  • Too often, IT processes are developed within organizations on a reactionary basis. This approach leads to silos of automated tasks that serve point solutions. In order to mitigate the high risk and high cost of automation silos, it is crucial that IT operations decision-makers, often working with cloud architects, orchestrate the siloed jobs into workloads that span across their entire IT operations environment.
  • Cloud orchestration involves organizing multiple automated tasks into a single harmonious workflow, making IT processes simpler and more efficient.
  • Cloud Orchestration provides several benefits:
  1. Improving efficiency of resource utilization, eliminates over-provisioning.
  2. Monitor, alert, and report on unexpected conditions to diagnose root cause.
  3. Simplify data integrations and automatically apply policies for governance and security.
  4. Manage dependencies across clouds to ensure proper execution of tasks.
  5. IT teams can focus on projects that create greater value for business and problem-solve more efficiently when they don't have to spend time on manual and time-consuming.
  6. Cloud orchestration helps organizations create a more organized, effective, and responsive cloud operating model to increase business agility.
