How enterprise DevOps teams can automate repetitive tasks while staying in control
Low-ops means minimising the effort for operating applications by automating as many tasks as possible. However, given the maximum automation, how can an SRE or DevOps engineer stay in control? Doesn’t automating tasks and being in control sound like a paradox?
A software operator can help resolve this paradox. In software operators, the automation is covered by source code, and the DevOps engineer or SRE can exercise control by defining and reviewing this code. Using software operators results in implementations that are testable and more reliable at runtime. Proven engineering methodologies ensure high-quality development leading to stable releases of operators – that is one way of implementing SRE. However, operating applications is not just about writing automation code: operating applications poses challenges when building solutions:
