Enhanced scalability and elasticity
Zero-touch operations improve enhanced scalability and elasticity by automating the management of resources and enabling dynamic scaling based on demand. In this section, we’ll explain how it enhances scalability and elasticity 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 resource provisioning
Let’s look at this in more detail:
- Traditional approach:
- In the traditional approach, provisioning resources involves manual intervention, such as setting up new servers or allocating additional storage
- Manual scaling requires human effort and coordination and may lead to delays in responding to increased workloads
- Zero-touch approach:
- With zero-touch operation, resource provisioning is automated using tools such as Terraform or cloud provider...
