Imagine that you are a systems administrator withing your company that has decided to leverage Azure for resource deployment. You have done research on Azure and learned about Azure Automation and how it can help simplify some of the management and configuration activities you execute on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. You decide that you want to recommend piloting Azure Automation to show the value, but need to decide on one or two tasks to prove the value of Azure Automation to your manager.
Thinking about the various management and configuration tasks that happen within an on-premises and/or cloud environment, what one or two tasks would you recommend as candidates for this pilot. Why would your pilot these tasks? Examples of candidate tasks may pertain to security, system maintenance, and/or service configuration at the resource level.
To this pilot project , i will recommend these two points with reasons as follows,
1) Security measures:
Our system will keep proper look on how to maintain higher quality security and safety to each stakeholders. There will be a proper functional design which will automatically alert the users about possible threats in terms of their threat, level of risks and other predefined services threats. There will be a button of auto correct of any possible threats . This will remove the malfunction and bugs available in the system.
2) Service Configuration and user stats:
This feature will offer a support to users in terms of daily , weekly, month basis, quarterly, six monthly, and annual report development in which a progress report and key achievements will be highlighted. Any updates and services gaps will also be suggested. User can itself generate appropriate program to update and maintain the system.
