Itential’s Pre-Built Automation capabilities enable users to easily create updated versions of automations that are promoted and deployed using a CI/CD pipeline.
Using the Pre-Built Wizard, practitioners can use a development environment to package an updated network automation into a new Pre-Built bundle. Using Pre-Built Promotion, the updated bundle can be pushed to a version control service with scripts to deploy the automation into a staging environment.
In this demo, see step-by-step how to:
- Install and run a Pre-Built Automation from Itential’s open-source Pre-Built Library.
- Create a new Pre-Built bundle from an updated network automation on a development server.
- Promote the Pre-Built Automation and push it to a version control service to be used in a CI/CD pipeline.
- Update versioning and control merging when making changes to updated Pre-Built automations.
