Influence of Automation in todays world:

Automation is a technique that helps replace repeatable processes and reduces human efforts. Automation is not about complexity, it’s about how we can automate the tasks to reduce human efforts in a simple way

Automation also refers to?the process of generating tools that execute tasks without the help of human intervention.

Things such as electronic devices, machines, and even robots are used to?automate tasks that used to be completed by humans.

?Let’s talk about some of the things that we use on daily basis. Think about the food we eat and the water we drink, the cell phone we use (mostly all the time??) and the computer we use. Think about the television we watch, video games we play, or music system we listen to and the car we drive.?

?Think about any modern convenience or necessity. Anything we can think of is the result of complex processes that are simplified because of automation. Without automation it’s almost impossible to design, build, improve, and maintain the complex processes.?The implementation of automation technologies, techniques and processes improve the efficiency, reliability, and speed of many tasks that were previously performed by humans.

?These technological advances that we are enjoying today and the future innovations that are happening would have never been possible without automation. Without automation, our world and our future would be very different.

Automation is being used in a number of areas such as manufacturing, transport, utilities, defence, facilities, operations and information technology.

Automation makes sure the techniques are used effectively in the delivery of products and services.

?For automation to succeed it has to be simple.

?With IT automation, software is used to set up and repeat instructions, processes, or policies that save time and free up IT staff for more strategic work.

?Ansible Automation Platform is a powerful tool that can scale a business and provide an enterprise framework for building and operating IT automation at scale from hybrid cloud to the edge. A wide range of?data centre and cloud operations can be automated through Ansible Automation Platform, resulting in faster operations.?

?Thanks to Ansible Automation Platform, IT environments can scale more quickly without any errors and are more responsive to business needs. It?can also?provide significant cost savings, and allow IT staff to focus on strategic rather than administrative work.

Ansible Automation Platform enables users across an organization to create, share, and manage automation - from development and operations to security and network teams.

Ansible Automation Platform can be used to create networking, storage or security templates and blueprints and to configure applications and provision production-ready infrastructure.

?IT managers can provide guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, and automation creators can write tasks that use existing knowledge. Ansible Automation Platform provides a more secure and stable foundation for deploying end-to-end automation.

?What can you automate using Ansible Automation Platform:

?Infrastructure

Applications

Networks

Security

Cloud

Containers

And the list goes on ……

?There are ongoing concerns that automation might replace jobs in some industries, however from my experience Automation can also create new jobs and steer people towards new opportunities.
