| It's not only about that, - cleaning logs is just simple example. The main big thing is about IF-Then-Else and it's up to you to choose what you put after that IF. Things like: * Building fully automated and really complex CI/CD workflows from several tools * Do something with your AWS or RackSpace clusters based on monitoring event from NewRelic, Sensu, Nagios * Automatic node replacement in cluster, migrating MySQL master (sleep well!) * Security automation, based on detecting erroneous events and automatically freezing account/activity and then notifying human about the incident * Create JIRA issue as part of Workflow, kind of detailed report after some action being done * Listen for new events/changes in Trello/Kafka/GitHub/RabbitMQ/anything even Twitter and trigger an action * Folks even using it for Smart Home Automation * ChatOps thing: obtain info about your infrastructure from Chat or trigger your favorite CM tool: Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt. Most probably anyone can imagine lots of use cases with their favorite DevOps tools, how to tie them together. Moar Automation, - less routine! |
