Reduced downtime and faster recovery
Zero-touch operations improve reduced downtime and faster recovery by automating monitoring, proactive alerting, and streamlined recovery processes. In this section, we’ll explain how it enhances reduced downtime and faster recovery with clear examples, along with the associated risks and effort required for implementation and maintenance. I will also highlight the differences between traditional approaches and the zero-touch approach used in the examples.
Automated monitoring and alerting
Let’s look at this in more detail:
- Traditional approach:
- In the traditional approach, monitoring systems and applications rely on manual checks or reactive troubleshooting
- Manual monitoring and response can lead to delays in detecting issues and addressing them, resulting in prolonged downtime
- Zero-touch approach:
- Zero-touch operations automate monitoring using tools such as Prometheus, Nagios, or ELK
- Automated monitoring systems collect...
