Automation (Iac)

Standardized interfaces for automating actions in the cloud, with an “Infrastructure As Code” (IaC) approach that enables engineers to define and manage IT infrastructure using script or code files. These automation capabilities are available across all NumSpot services, and are compatible with industry-standard tools such as Terraform.

The benefits

Simplified change and maintenance management

Modify infrastructure in the same way as application source code. Enable customers to use version management tools, perform code reviews and implement continuous integration and deployment practices for their infrastructure, thus improving the quality and maintenance of their cloud infrastructure.

Consistency and error reduction

Benefit from precise, reproducible infrastructure configuration to avoid manual configuration errors. Guaranteed consistency between development, test and production environments, and easier problem detection and correction.

Efficient, rapid deployment

Deploy and scale cloud infrastructure rapidly, thanks to coding and configuration automation to accelerate time-to-market, for example.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a foundational approach that allows teams to define and manage IT infrastructure using scripts or code. It offers several advantages: Reproducibility: Easily replicate configurations across different environments. Version control: Simplified management of infrastructure code using version control systems, facilitating the tracking of changes. Consistency: Reduced human error by automating infrastructure deployment.

“Most” of NumSpot

Cost savings and resource efficiency

Reduced manual tasks: Ensuring IT teams can focus on higher-value projects and free themselves from repetitive tasks that are now automated. Improved scalability: Facilitating scaling resources based on real needs, avoiding costly over-provisioning. Optimized workload management: Automatic adjustment of allocated resources based on performance, using tools like APM (Application Performance Management).

Enhanced compliance and security

Automatic detection and remediation: Accelerated identification and treatment of security threats without human intervention. Configuration consistency: Reduction of human error and assurance of uniform application of security policies. Facilitated compliance: Assistance with adherence to industry standards and government regulations.

Accelerated deployment and innovation

Reduced migration time: Acceleration of the initial stages of cloud migration, benefiting faster adoption of new technologies. Faster deployment of new projects: Easier and quicker access for developers to the resources needed for new applications, without going through lengthy approval processes. Unification of hybrid and multi-cloud environments: Automation allows for consistent management of complex cloud environments, facilitating innovation across different platforms.
