Azure Automation is a solution to automate frequent, time-consuming, and error-prone cloud management tasks, and ensures consistent management for Windows and Linux. Users can write runbooks graphically in PowerShell or Python to integrate Azure services and other public systems required for deploying, configuring, and managing end-to-end processes. It can also be used to orchestrate across on-premises environments using a hybrid runbook worker to deliver on-demand services. Automations from…N/A

More appropriate if you have a tech group that can use more of the AWS Batch rather than one or 2 things. It works great for me, but there was a huge learning curve the first week of using it. Now, I love it - and I hope to dig deep into other parts not just S3.

We have found Azure Automation to be well-suited for tasks that must be performed on a scheduled basis. No matter how simple or tedious tasks are to perform manually, if they run on a scheduled basis, it makes sense to have them automated. If the tasks at hand are only performed once or infrequently, then it may be best to continue performing them manually.

  • An automation template library would be nice
  • Clear estimation of costs - this goes for the entire Azure Automation platform
  • It can be daunting at first due to all the settings and menu levels, but it is not difficult once you get started.

Key advantages include cost-effectiveness through dynamic resource provisioning and the use of spot instances. It auto-scales to meet workload demands, allowing easy job submission via the AWS Management Console or SDKs. It integrates seamlessly with other services like S3 and CloudWatch. It features automatic retries for failed jobs. It allows for a custom computing environment tailored to specific needs

We wanted to start everything on a scale & with fewer resources to manage the underlying infrastructure.

We did not evaluate any other automation products since we are already using Microsoft 365 and the Azure platform. Additionally, Azure Automation allows for a reasonable number of tasks to be performed each month at no cost, which is especially nice when testing the platform. We found Azure Automate's integration of Powershell invaluable when working directly with Microsoft 365, Sharepoint, Azure AD, and other systems via API.
