Learn how to use Vistara Automation to automate common management tasks at scale and save manual effort.

Agenda
• Vistara Automation - Goals
• Automation Use Cases
• How To Configure RBAs
• Demo Three Scenarios
• Q&A

Vistara Automation – Goals
• Automate common management
tasks at scale
• Save manual effort
• Eliminate human error
• Improve consistency

Use Cases
• On demand system administration tasks
– E.g. Check 100s of severs for a security
vulnerability (e.g. Heartbleed)
• Routine system administration tasks across:
– E.g. Scrape old logs from 100 servers to a
central repository for future audits
• Collect additional context around an alert
– E.g. Get processes running when alert
occurred
• Auto remediate issues as they come up
– E.g. Restart a Windows service if it is down

How to do the following for RBA scripts…
• Setup up permissions
• Create
• Organize
• Run on demand
• Run on schedule
• Run an Alert
• View output
• Report

Scenario #1: Identify OpenSSL version installed, on demand
Scenario
• A new security vulnerability has been identified –
it is all over the news (like recent Heartbleed
issue !)
Your task
• Check all your servers if vulnerable version of
OpenSSL is installed
Solution
• Run an RBA script that checks OpenSSL
version across your servers
• Export output to identify which servers need an
update
What version of
SW installed?
Servers

Scenario #2: Archive log files to central location on a schedule
Scenario
• Your organization has a new audit and compliance
policy
–Key log files in production servers must be
archived for 36 months for audit
Your task
• Move key logs files in all your servers to a central
archive in AWS S3 storage
Solution
• Run an RBA script that collects log files from each
server and moves them to AWS S3
Log Files
Log Archive
Servers

Scenario #3: Collect context around an alert aid troubleshooting
Scenario
• You are seeing an intermittent failure on devices that
is proving hard to troubleshoot
–You want to get a snapshot of key information
from the device when the failure happens
Your task
• Collect a snapshot of key information whenever a
specific alert occurs
Solution
• Configure RBA script to be run when an alert
triggers
Server

Hybrid IT Operations and the Hybrid CloudVistara

��

This document discusses hybrid IT and cloud computing. It begins by defining key terms like hybrid cloud, which combines internal and external cloud services. It then discusses potential benefits of public cloud services like reduced capital expenditures and improved scalability. However, public cloud adoption faces challenges around security, compliance, and integration. The document outlines how a hybrid IT model can address these challenges by enabling organizations to broker a mix of internal and external IT services. It argues that a hybrid IT management solution is needed to monitor services across private and public clouds and provide transparency on costs. Finally, the document introduces Vistara as a platform that can help with unified management of hybrid cloud environments.

WSO2Con USA 2017: Building Platforms for Rapid Application DevelopmentWSO2

��

Designing, developing and deploying business capabilities and being able to go-to-market quickly gives businesses a competitive edge. With digital transformation, no company can any longer afford to differentiate between “business” and “IT”. They have to become technology companies themselves because software plays a key role in becoming a digital business and is responsible for running the business. This introduces a broad set of challenges that range from technology acquisition to changes in mindset on how you approach and solve business problems. This session will explore how to build a platform that allows rapid development of applications through quick prototyping and iterative improvements to application architecture. It also examines how WSO2 can help build such a platform and empower developers to create better customer experiences.

Migrating from the data center to the cloud requires us to rethink much of what we do to secure our applications. The idea of physical security morphs as infrastructure becomes virtualized by AWS APIs. In a new world of ephemeral, auto-scaling infrastructure, you need to adapt your security architecture to meet both compliance and security threats. In the presentation we will cover topics including: - Minimizing attack vectors and surface area - Perimeter assessments of your VPCs - Internal vs. External threats - Monitoring threats - Re-evaluating Intrusion Detection, Activity Monitoring, and Vulnerability Assessment in AWS

Locking Down Your CloudTeri Radichel

��

The document discusses securing deployments in the cloud through automated processes. It argues that manual security reviews of cloud deployments do not work and that organizations should instead implement immutable infrastructure with security checks built into automated deployment systems. This prevents insecure configurations and tracks all changes. The document outlines approaches like monitoring for unauthorized changes after deployment and blocking non-compliant deployments. While automated security has upfront costs, it helps reduce long-term costs from human errors and speeds issue resolution through prevention rather than rollback. Centralized logging and deployment tracking aids in security management and cost optimization.
