Modern Infrastructure Automation

Automation at scale is the foundation of every successful high velocity organization. Automation requires dynamic infrastructure that is managed as code. Modern infrastructure code means bringing the lessons from software development to your infrastructure. Automation is managed in version control systems, tests drive code development, code moves through a continuous pipeline from the workstation to the production environment. What will this look like in five years? We will see a continued improvement in the way teams work together toward common goals, build more operable applications, and embrace complexity while improving ease-of-use.

4. November 15, 2016 No high velocity company has gotten there without automation at scale as a foundation Automation at scale is required for high velocity IT Continuous Improvement Citi relies on Chef as the automation platform used to help transform over 3,000 application teams. Chef is important enough to Citi that Citi became an investor in Chef. Chef is the platform for a continuous delivery pipeline empowering application teams to ship a thousand plus changes per day across “Carl Sagan size deployments.” GE touts Chef as the most rapidly adopted technology in the history of GE. idea ship
5. November 15, 2016 Automation at Scale Dynamic Infrastructure
6. November 15, 2016 Dynamic infrastructure Migrate applica:ons to the cloud and support hybrid and mul:-cloud environments. Automate the management of heterogeneous networks, including legacy systems. •  Provisioning and seUng up environments •  Dynamic scaling of compute resources •  Migra:ng legacy workloads to the cloud •  Mul: cloud and hybrid cloud deployment •  Support for heterogeneous environments
7. November 15, 2016 Dynamic Infrastructure Infrastructure as Code + Automation at Scale
8. November 15, 2016 Infrastructure as Code Turn infrastructure into code—infrastructure as code is versionable, testable and repeatable. Manual processes become a thing of the past. •  Automated, full-stack applica:on policies •  Package and service installa:on •  Versionable, testable, repeatable workflow •  Scalable applica:on policies •  Management of interdependencies across nodes
9. November 15, 2016 Infrastructure as Code •  Programma:cally provision and configure components
10. November 15, 2016 Infrastructure as Code •  Programma:cally provision and configure components •  Treat like any other code base
11. November 15, 2016 Infrastructure as Code •  Programma:cally provision and configure components •  Treat like any other code base •  Reconstruct business from code repository, data backup, and compute resources
12. November 15, 2016 Infrastructure as code and delivery at scale •  Manages deployment and on-going automation •  Define reusable resources and infrastructure state as code •  Scale elegantly from one to tens of thousands of managed nodes across multiple complex environments
