cloud automation

Cloud automation is about optimizing processes and work aids to reduce the manual work involved in deploying and managing cloud computing. The associated measures are intended to reduce cloud managementefforts and can be applied equally to private clouds, public clouds and hybrid clouds.

With cloud computing, some companies book more IT resources than necessary, resulting in higher costs that are not used for application purposes. Cloud automation is designed to reduce these excessive provisioning costs. In addition, manual provisioning and management of IT resources is a time-consuming process that offers sufficient potential for savings. Repetitive tasks such as configuring and load balancing virtual machines, clusters and storage, or managing and ensuring the availability of existing computing power can be automated and offer corresponding potential savings. In addition, manual work is more error-prone than automated work.

Cloud automation eliminates repetitive and manual processes for provisioning and management in cloud computing.
