Service Management Automation is a set of tools that is integrated as the Automation extension in Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server and available as a cloud service under Microsoft Azure.
IT pros and IT developers or DevOps teams can use Automation to construct, run, and manage runbooks to integrate, orchestrate, and automate IT business processes. Automation runbooks run on the Windows PowerShell workflow engine.
Automation uses the following three underlying components that are connected to Windows Azure Pack through the Service Management Automation service endpoint:
Web service
- Connects to Windows Azure Pack
- Distributes runbook jobs to runbook workers
- Supports HTTPS
- Enables security group to control access
Runbook worker
- Executes runbook jobs
- Runs under a service account
PowerShell module
