Safely Delegate your Cloud Operations with Self-Service Automation
AVAILABLE NOW
Running Operations is not an easy job, especially these days. Ops teams have to ensure excellent user experiences, resolve incidents quickly and help developers stay productive. Yet at the same time, there is also the need to maintain systems security and keep downtime to a minimum.
While advances in cloud computing have helped address some of these challenges, many organizations find it difficult to leverage the cloud at scale because of bottlenecks that form around repetitive tasks, such as developers having to wait for provisioning infrastructure. Despite having access to abundant cloud resources, these speed-bumps often make it difficult to achieve team objectives.
Watch this talk on-demand today and learn:
-
How to safely delegate the management of your cloud deployment (to developers and other end users) with self-service operations.
-
How to create powerful runbooks with guardrails that leverage existing scripting languages, infrastructure, and tools to remove bottlenecks that form around repetitive tasks.
-
Strategies for getting started with self-service.

Accelerate the Adoption of “You Build it, You Own it” with Self-Service Operations
AVAILABLE NOW
Many engineering and operations teams would like to move to a Service Ownership: “You build it, you own it” operating model. However, as with many ancillary objectives driving DevOps across an organization, this is easier said than done. Often, it’s because teams lack the human-to-technology mechanisms which allow for a culture of service ownership.
Within the context of incident response, teams need the ability to clearly define who is responsible for tending to issues, how they’re notified, and who to lean on for help. This is true for non-incident response scenarios, too. How can teams operate at a fast pace, and a large scale, while still maintaining valid and safe service ownership? One of the keys to allowing for service ownership outside of incident response is by imbuing an organization with a culture of self-service operations.
This is where a service owner builds and delegates self-service mechanisms for end-users (non-service owners) to make use of a given service safer while also reducing the number of interruptions to the service creator/owner.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- How self-service helps organizations adopt a ‘You Build it, You Own it’ model
- Necessary mechanisms for service owners to create self-service interfaces which address the needs of their service-users
- How to apply self-service while continuing to maintain security and compliance standards
- How to allow developers and SREs to safely delegate automation as self-service requests to other teams and IT users
- How to help developers regain productivity and quality of life by doing what they do best: coding

The Speed of Change: How Fast Are You?
How fast is your IT? You need speed and adaptability to adjust as big changes in the global economy and our daily lives keep coming. Disruption is the status quo, and the “new normal” is not yet defined.
Are you prepared for what’s next? What are IT organizations saying about it all?
This spring, 2,200 IT professionals and senior IT leaders participated in a survey and shared:
- How fast their organizations can respond to change
- What application development challenges are holding them back
- What makes them more (or less!) ready for change
The most shocking result? Only 21% of people feel like they can beat their peers and competitors at the change game.
These and other answers to the survey became a report that offers insights into which organizations are leading the race in speed and adaptability in this era of digital urgency.
Download “The Speed of Change: How Fast Are You?” to learn more about those who lead and those who don’t. You’ll also find out if you are a leader, and get tips on what to do if you are not.

Establish an incident management process like an IT Operations Pro
Incident Management is an IT service management process intended to restore “normal” service operation as quickly as possible, while minimizing any adverse impact on business operations or the end user. To be successful, IT teams must promptly and effectively deal with all Incidents reported by users.
So why is Incident Management important? The answer is impact. The cost of downtime can add up to billions of dollars of lost revenue, cost employees productivity time and leave a negative user experience. For every hour of downtime a business experiences there is a profound impact to the business.
Having a well-defined incident management process can help reduce the cost of downtime dramatically.

Observability: A Guide for Buyers
You’ve likely heard the term observability being passed around for the past few years, and you might have assumed that it is just another marketing buzzword for monitoring. And you wouldn’t be alone in that thinking.
Some experts would say that “observability”, “AIOPs” and “application Performance Monitoring (APM)” are just terms used to distinguish between products on the market.
But others would argue that there’s a concrete difference between all of these terms.

Why Automated AIOps Is Better Than AIOps- and How to Get There
RECORDED EVENT
Early monitoring efforts relied on specialists to scrutinize production environments for issues that might hurt performance. But as IT grew in size and complexity, humans struggled to keep up. Growing out of that struggle, AIOps enabled systems to independently spot anomalies and issue alerts. Adding automation takes AIOps to a whole new level—introducing enhanced options for remediating incidents, handling repetitive tasks, and removing human error.
