Automation.Day

IT organizations are continually looking for ways to deliver IT services to their businesses efficiently, and automation has come in to fill a key need.  It can help teams automate routine tasks so there is more time for innovation, ensure consistent change, and help ensure overall resilience. With Event-Driven Ansible, teams can now complete key tasks automatically, whether resetting a router in the middle of the night or automatically responding to conditions when they occur for speed and resilience. Event-Driven Ansible is a popular new technology that makes it easier for teams to flexibly build this type of automatic response into their operations.  It is flexible from source to rule to action and can be used by teams without an extended project or deep coding skills.  Join this session to learn more about applying this new technology as the next step in your automation strategy, no matter where you are along your journey. In this session, we will:

• Explain event-driven automation
• Share experiences from our customers and community
• Show how to get started
• Describe its architecture so you can see its flexibility first-hand.

And much more! Deliver IT services faster and more efficiently as you carve out time to work on true innovation and even sleep more.

As businesses increasingly rely on applications to drive digital transformation, there is a growing demand for regular innovation and rapid resolution of application issues. However, traditional manual deployment processes can be time-consuming and slow down the pace of innovation. To deliver value back to the business faster, organizations must embrace automation throughout the deployment pipeline.

This session will explore how F5 enables DevOps teams to streamline the deployment lifecycle beyond application code with their CI/CD integration, service provisioning, and configuration capabilities.
