Abstract

The task of managing large installations of computer systems presents a number of unique challenges related to heterogeneity, consistency, information flow and documentation. The emerging field of DevOps borrows practices from software engineering to tackle complexity. In this paper we provide an insight in how automation can to improve scalability and testability while simultaneously reducing the operators’ work.
