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 ITSM, DevOps, and monitoring systems can be triggered to fulfill requests and ensure continuous delivery and management.

Oracle offers the Autonomous Transaction Processing, supporting database self-repair and maintenance with machine learning to eliminate human labor, human error, and manual tuning.

We are currently using Azure Automation to manage aspects of Microsoft 365 and Sharepoint that cannot otherwise be automated. Specifically, we are using it to generate failed login alerts from Microsoft 365 and to perform synchronization of employee information between Azure AD and Sharepoint for an internal business directory. With the use of Azure Automation, we have both of these tasks scheduled to run periodically each day.

Scheduled automation of Microsoft 365 and Azure tasks
Scheduled automation of scripting (e.g. Powershell)
Perform periodic maintenance

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.

Ensures tasks are not forgotten
Saves times - routine tasks no longer have to be performed manually
Complicated tasks are no longer an issue
