This webinar discusses overcoming automation tool overload. It presents Environment-as-a-Service (EaaS) as a way to break down automation silos by providing a common platform for orchestrating multiple tools. EaaS allows for the creation of standardized environments on-demand using tools like Kubernetes, AWS CloudFormation, and Terraform. The webinar demonstrates how EaaS can optimize costs, simplify migrations to cloud-native architectures, and provide self-service portals for end users.

This creates digital islands: units working with the right technologies but independently of each other. How can we break the automation silos ? “Enterprise-wide IT transformation is tough and requires many years of follow-through.” Karel Bosse program director of IT transformation at Dutch bank ABN AMRO say that their mission-critical systems are so complex that they are wary of changing them. 80%started digital transformation process 14%reported performance improvements 3%completed the transformation 62% 66% DXC TECHNOLOGY REPORT FINDINGS

- 8. 8 Breaking the Automation Silos Many organizations are forming specialized team (a.k.a DevSecOps teams) to tackle the automation silos and create certified environments.. Cloudify Empowers those teams with a platform that provides out of the box integrations with the leading orchestration platforms, allowing interoperability between them all.
- 9. 9 The Cloudify Platform Key Features 9 Full life cycle management Multi Cloud Orchestration Service Component with an out-of-the-box support for Kubernetes, Ansible, AWS Cloud Formation, Azure ARM, Terraform. Easily add custom orchestrator through the REST plugin or Custom Plugin framework. Dependency and Relationship between services Interoperability - through Capabilities, inputs, outputs, context information. Workflow and Cascading workflow Shared Service relationship management Zero touch provisioning - through shared-service relationship, and shared service workflow Service Composition DSL (Domain Specific Language) Managed as code though CI/CD and API - CI/CD integration plugins. Consistent management - achieved through cloudify console with the specific nested service topology view support that allows simple navigation between interdependent services. Service catalog - Self service portal for sharing and deploying pre- templated services. Learn More Here

- 23. 2323 Summary Benefits Orchestrator of Orchestrators Integrate all automation platforms (Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, Azure ARM, etc.) under a common management layer. Use out-of-the-box plugins, or self-develop them. Template Environments Bringing infrastructure, networking and security into reusable and 'templatized' environments, allowing deployment of tasks for apps that run on similar configurations. End-to-End Automation End-to-end modeling of the entire infrastructure that enables cost-saving policies, such as decommissioning of resources. ‘Automation First’ Approach Migrate to public cloud and cloud-native architecture by automating existing infrastructures alongside cloud native resources. Customizable Portal Deliver frictionless services to end users with a highly customizable self service portal.
