An Event-Driven Approach to Systems Management at Scale

Real-world systems are inherently complex. This is continually more apparent in the digital ecosystems that run modern business. The challenge to control, optimize, and secure these digital systems is becoming more and more daunting for IT operations teams. We must recognize and embrace emerging patterns to help efficiently manage infrastructure at scale. On this 30-minute webinar, Mike Place, SaltStack director of engineering and maintainer of the Salt open source project, will provide an introduction to an event-driven approach for systems management, blending traditional monitoring and configuration management techniques to build resilient and autonomous systems. The goal -- to learn how to abstract infrastructure command and control through event-driven IT automation workflows sophisticated enough to wrangle the complexity of the modern data center.
