Frequently asked questions

Q: What primary operational challenge does this solution address for VMware Cloud Foundation users?

A: While VMware Cloud Foundation provisions infrastructure quickly, organizations often face an operational gap, in which it can take weeks to make services secure and ready to use. Automic Automation bridges this gap through automated orchestration.

Q: Does implementing Automic Automation require replacing existing tools like Ansible or Terraform?

A: No, Automic Automation does not require a rip-and-replace approach. Instead, the solution acts as a central control plane that federates and orchestrates your entire existing toolchain.

Q: How does this solution maintain strict governance without slowing down development teams?

A: It utilizes defensive orchestration mechanisms, such as automated pre-flight validation and drawbridge controls. With these capabilities, you can enforce compliance, while eliminating the need for slow, manual checks.

Q: What kind of visibility does Automic Automation provide during service delivery failures?

A: The solution eliminates blind spots by providing centralized visibility, interactive real-time dashboards, and comprehensive end-to-end audit trails across the entire federated hybrid cloud stack.
