The Pivotal Role of Hyperautomation in Enterprise Observability

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, network and security operations have become increasingly complex and critical for organizations across industries. The proliferation of cloud technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) and remote work environments has necessitated robust network infrastructure and heightened security measures. To effectively manage and safeguard these intricate systems, observability has emerged as a vital practice. And now, with the advent of hyperautomation, observability is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, enabling enhanced efficiency, agility and proactive decision-making. Observability refers to the ability to gain insights…

Hyperautomation and The Technological Earthquakes That Created It

A turn of phrase I like quite a bit is describing something as a “quake” blog, book, movie, or tech. It refers to a ground-shifting idea or concept that changes my worldview. The three biggest “quakes” I have had in my 25-year career were Linux, Puppet, and GitHub Actions, and their stories are all interwoven with me personally and the technology community at large.  On Wednesday, May 17th at 3:30 PM CT I will be teaching and training the attendees of ONUG Spring 2023 on…

Hybrid/Multi-Cloud: A Powerful Paradigm for Enterprises

Introduction A multi-cloud or hybrid strategy gives enterprises the freedom to use the best possible cloud native services for revenue generating workloads. Many organizations are utilizing multi-cloud deployment use cases like Increased reliability Improved security Cloud bursting  Disaster recovery Vendor neutral solution Utilizing differentiated solutions from providers   The cloud vendors provide common solutions like compute, storage and networking solutions with cost efficiencies. Organisations today consume multi-cloud solutions for enterprise IT services like email, Salesforce, PaaS from Microsoft etc. for applications. Study from Flexera shows most…

Predictive Load Balancing For Cloud Cost Optimization: A Case for Intelligent Load Balancing

Introduction Modern applications are composed of individual microservices that need to run in one or more locations (cloud regions or edges). On the one hand the loading at each of these microservices can vary with seasonality and other external events that influence the workloads. On the other hand, it is assumed that there is sufficient capacity to handle the load arriving at each of these locations. The platform team can only create static load balancing profiles based on the offerings from various cloud providers resulting…

What is the Hyperautomation Struggle?

A large portion of enterprise revenue is directly affected by the availability and security of IT infrastructure. This puts IT organizations under extreme pressure to ensure business continuity, accommodate growth, and help increase business value. But they struggle to solve one significant challenge: keeping operations running during economic recessions, natural disasters, or international conflicts, when physical access to sites is limited or outright prohibited. This challenge is exacerbated by an increase in distributed infrastructure, especially edge computing, which Gartner predicts will process 75% of enterprise…

ONUG O&A Working Group Expands Charter and Renames to Hyperautomation Working Group

Since the O&A working group was started in the fall of 2019 a lot has changed. Digital transformation initiatives have been accelerated, largely due to the pandemic. The adoption of cloud computing and all things SaaS has dramatically increased within Enterprise IT. With the rise of Hybrid infrastructure and edge compute new holistic security challenges, and availability have become major pain points, especially when networks scale and IT talent is scarce.  Therefore the importance of automation has moved up into the top five most important…

Using APIs for End-to-End Process Automation

Blog #3 in a Series on APIs from the ONUG O&A Working Group Part One of this blog series on APIs for network automation set the foundation for the importance of using APIs (application programming interfaces) for network and end-to-end process automation. Part Two, we are going to look at more of the implementation details and points to consider when first looking to leverage API calls for automation. Here in Part Three, we are going to look at putting APIs to work to enable end-to-end…

The Increasing Importance of Using APIs for Network Orchestration and Automation

Blog #1 in a Series on APIs from the ONUG O&A Working Group We have all clamored for programmatic control and more intelligence in our networks and applications for years. We want to automate high-value repeatable tasks to eliminate toil in our programming world. In response, software developers released Application Programming Interfaces or APIs, essentially, more code to control their original code or application. The good news is we have programmatic control for automation! The bad news is there are almost as many ways to go about…
