*’Shift Left’ by Now Platform to Meet the Needs of DevOps Teams for Infrastructure Automation*
Software developers require hassle-free processes and fast access to infrastructure to quickly deliver new features. However, providing access to infrastructure without adequate control results in IT waste, including costly cloud security breaches and increasing infrastructure costs. This is unacceptable for most organizations, especially in highly regulated industries.
Cloudify’s deep integration with Now Platform components (catalog, flow manager, etc.) allows developers to manage their own cloud environments in non-production environments while enabling DevOps teams that quickly expedite the provision of infrastructure.
- Self-Service Provisioning for Developers: With the Now Platform and Cloudify, developers can now rotate and destroy authorized development, test and production environments with a few clicks. Certified environments are shared with the organization through the ServiceNow catalog. Developers simply double-click the environment they need, which automatically triggers the Now approval workflow, which, in turn, automatically triggers Cloudify to create the requested environment. Developers also have the option to specify “time to live” and other configurations.
- Controlled Provisioning and Automated Day 2 Operations: Cloudify’s integration with the Now Platform streamlines and automates the process of managing certified environments. Cloudify and the Now Platform are integrated through a single API, eliminating labor-intensive API stitches, creating custom forms, and coordinating multiple API calls. All DevOps tools, CI/CD, and automation are provided in one “one-stop shop”: It eliminates manual synchronization; saves operator time on support tickets and approval processes; does not require human participation for standard, pre -approved environmental changes; and automatically eliminates unnecessary environments. By significantly reducing the time required to deliver and manage certified environments, IT operators will be able to deliver better service to the development team, mitigate bottlenecks and achieve a better balance between the need for in agility and control.
