The growth of the public cloud continues unabated after over a decade of rapid expansion and is likely to remain strong: IDC research shows that 52% of production transactions are still performed on-premises for large enterprises. However, this percentage is declining every quarter. As companies move new and existing applications to the cloud, there is a greater need to manage and automate these cloud resources. IDC defines IT automation as the capability to automatically provision, deploy, and manage IT resources across private data centers and public cloud environments. This functionality includes day-to-day operations of servers, containers, network, security, and storage infrastructure. In addition, configuration management, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) are necessary elements for the future of autonomous operations.
