Network teams are spending more and more time building automations for their day-to-day tasks – scripts and other assets that are intended to be used personally, or among a very small group of trusted team members. However, most are seeing the need to expand the audience who can run these automations to increase the efficiency of their organization’s IT operations. This can be accomplished by exposing what the team has already built to other applications and platforms. The question is, how can you do this safely at scale?
To do this successfully, network teams need a platform that enables them to quickly create network automations that they trust, and securely publish these automations to be consumed by other teams, applications, and platforms. The Itential Automation Platform provides all the tools needed for network teams to confidently build and expose their network automations as services that can be run from IT systems like ServiceNow or as part of a DevOps Pipeline.
In this demo, Rich Martin, Director of Technical Marketing at Itential, shows step-by-step how to:
- Build and publish a workflow for use by the network team.
- Build and publish a workflow for use by end users in ServiceNow.
- Build and publish a workflow for use in a DevOps pipeline.
- Utilize Operations Manager for access control, data validation, and job auditing.
