Cross-Platform Automation using Open Source StackStorm

10:10 Thursday, November 17

Finding an automation tool that covers two or three domains is difficult. Finding one that covers more is nearly impossible. StackStorm provides automation across numerous platforms including vCenter, Cassandra, Microsoft Azure, Docker, Ansible, Github, Jira, Kubernetics, Google, Linux, generic email, mqtt, OpenStack, Puppet, Splunk, Yammer, MS Windows, Brocade fabrics, and more including Tesla cars. The open architecture allows one to easily build sensors, actions, and rules for specialized applications and other off-the-shelf products. In this session, we will present an overview of the tool, a few use cases, and directions on how to obtain and use this tool to make your own lives easier.
