Why Automation is important for Effective DevOps | DevOps Certification - World Of Agile DevOps is all about how businesses must be results-oriented to meet evolving customer demand and gain greater market share. Today’s marketplace is connected, always on and increasingly competitive. Companies are adopting what we call an “as-a-service” approach to achieve better outcomes fast, consuming and leveraging leading-edge technologies such as cloud and automation. As IT systems grow exponentially, and cloud solutions proliferate, non-automated, manual systems increasingly are becoming a major business liability. Today’s systems are simply becoming too big and complex to run completely manually, and working without automation is largely unsustainable for many enterprises across all industries. Automation involves a set of tools, processes and insights that allows IT environments to self-modify and adjust, and some enterprises have started using intelligent automation to drive a new, more productive relationship between people and machines. For example, IT automation is often used to auto-scale and load-balance large fleets of servers, manage global content distribution based on geographic demand, enable self-healing of IT systems and manage security mostly with limited ongoing manual intervention. Moreover, automation enables the ability to adapt and improve the service experience without manual intervention. However, while these tools offer new strengths and capabilities, they are meant to complement and enhance human skills. Effective automation depends on adequate insights collected from all the systems relevant to the service experience and business outcome you’re trying to augment. Insights from data are necessary to create open paths to automated predictions and ultimately using machine learning, or artificial intelligence, as part of a full scope the as-a-service construct.
