automation and hybrid cloud (8 cards)
Deployment management
Provisioning cloud resources as needed
Automate using infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like terraform and CloudFormation
Configure system settings and network
Operation management
- Ensures monitoring, maintenance and optimization of cloud infrastructure.
- Uses tools like AWS CloudWatch to provide real time insights to system performance.
- Monitors CPU, memory and latency.
- Sets up automated alerts for performance degradation.
Automation service management
Maximizes utilization of resources and service level delivery and reduce hardware costs and management complexity.
-Intelligent resource allocation
-Live migration
-Smart power management
What is salt
SaltStack is a powerful configuration management and automation tool which emphasizes on speed and scalability
Event driven automation and real-time event handling.
Designed for high performance tasks
What is chef
Chef is a configuration management tool which uses ruby-based recipes and cookbooks to define IaC.
Focuses on infrastructure automation
Chef is best used for complex configurations, especially in environments with complex workflows.
What is Ansible
A lightweight, agentless configuration mgmt tool that uses playbooks for configuration and automation.
Strong multicloud support, allowing automation across hybrid cloud environments.
Best for simplicity and cloud environments with minimal overhead.
Hybrid Cloud
Combination of characteristics of both public and private cloud where internal and external service delivery methods are integrated.
Implementation involves integrating openstack private cloud resources with public cloud platforms, creating an infrastructure that leverages the strengths of both public and private cloud.
Challenges for hybrid cloud
1) Needs reliable and high speed connection to avoid latency issues.
2) Managing security across both environments can be hectic
3)Ensuring data synchronisation requires careful planning
