Itential Automation Service Demo Overview

As automation engineers, you spend a lot of time focused on building the best automations possible, using tools that fit the project and your skillset, and then pushing those automations to a Git repository. But it’s one thing to share a script or a Playbook with a team member who is familiar with Git and with building and modifying environments — it’s another to operationalize automation for operators to consume.

This demo explores Itential’s Automation Service and shows how it works.

You’ll get a firsthand look at the new Automation Gateway, which can be managed through a single binary on the CLI and acts as a central, dynamic execution platform for running automations (Python, Plans, and Playbooks alike). Then you’ll see how automation services can be delivered as a product catalog when connected to Itential Cloud for team members to consume.

In this demo, you’ll see:

• How Itential Automation Gateway (IAG) works, and how you can use it to pull down automations from a Git repository and easily build services around them.
• How IAG dynamically generates automation execution environments at runtime.
• How published automation services can be exposed as products through Itential Cloud, allowing others to consume automations with no need for automation developers to spend time building and managing environments.
