Automation:
Managing IT infrastructure through the use of code
By Insight Editor / 10 Mar 2025 / Topics: DevOps Digital transformation IT optimization Modern infrastructure
In IT infrastructure management and provisioning, automation is more than just a trend – it’s becoming the standard. Organisations increasingly adopt DevOps and automation to replace manual processes, driving efficiency and consistency. It’s no surprise that this topic sparked lively debate at a recent MC2MC event.
As an experienced Microsoft partner, Insight recently attended and sponsored MC2MC Connect. This event brings together Microsoft experts and enthusiasts, providing a platform to connect with peers, explore new and upcoming features, and exchange ideas and best practices.
What makes MC2MC Connect unique in Belgium is its strong focus on the technical community, providing in-depth insights directly from Microsoft experts. One of the event’s key topics was automation, with a highlight session on using Graph API for code deployment.
Bringing value through automation
The session showcased how a system or cloud administrator can introduce automation to streamline daily tasks. The key to success? Taking a pragmatic approach – breaking tasks into achievable milestones and leveraging automation to enhance efficiency.
Automation is not just a trend; it’s a game-changer in IT infrastructure management. It reduces the risk of human error, improves speed and consistency, and empowers IT professionals with better control over their environments. It also simplifies maintenance, making IT operations smoother and more reliable.
A crucial tip? Avoid relying on manual configurations in the portal. Instead of "click-ops” – where you must personally configure and deploy the automated infrastructure – embrace a DevOps approach by incorporating code and templates for automation. A modern IT infrastructure strategy replaces traditional, manual processes with code-driven automation.
