Improved reliability and consistency
Zero-touch operations improve reliability and consistency by automating processes, reducing human errors, and ensuring standardized configurations. In this section, we’ll explain how it enhances reliability and consistency with clear examples, along with the associated risks and effort required for implementation and maintenance. Based on the risks and effort highlighted, we can draw a conclusion on the ROI.
Automated configuration management
Let’s look at this in further detail:
- Implementation:
- Use configuration management tools such as Ansible, Puppet, or Chef to define and automate the configuration of systems and applications
- Define desired configurations in code, such as server settings, application configurations, and security policies
- Risks:
- Misconfigurations in the automation scripts or incomplete coverage of configurations may lead to inconsistencies or security vulnerabilities. Thorough testing, code reviews...
