The power of cloud computing combined with the ease of a managed offering enables IT organisations to automate and extend their cloud swiftly. Red Hat and Microsoft customers don’t have to worry about adopting and configuring an enterprise-class solution. Instead, they may immediately begin working on more sophisticated situations such as automated OS configuration, application provisioning, network automation, infrastructure as code (IaC), and security orchestration.
According to an IDC report, “virtually (97%) of organisations see major barriers to their ability to effectively employ automation across their enterprise. Through 2023, many IT automation efforts will be delayed or will fail outright due to underinvestment in creating IT/Sec/DevOps teams with the right tools and skills. The end goal is to deliver consistent, coherent and cooperative automation at scale.”
