Cloud Automation

Cloud automation enables IT teams and developers to create, modify, and tear down resources on the cloud automatically. One of the major promises of cloud computing is that services could be used on demand, if and when needed. But in reality, someone needs to spin up those resources, test them, identify when they are no longer needed, and take them down, and this can represent a huge manual effort.

Cloud automation is not built into the cloud; it requires expertise and the use of specialized tools. You can leverage cloud automation tools and capabilities offered by your public cloud vendor (such as AWS or Azure), automation features in your private cloud platform (such as OpenStack or Cloud Foundry), or third party cloud tools that can perform automation in cloud environments (such as Puppet, Chef, Kubernetes, or Cloudify).

Cloud automation requires hard work, but it pays off when you get through the initial pain and gain the ability to perform complex tasks at the click of a button. Beyond the obvious benefit of reducing manual work, cloud automation has additional benefits:

• Improved security and resilience— when sensitive tasks are automated, you do not need multiple IT people or developers logging into mission critical systems. The risk of human error, malicious insiders and account compromise is vastly reduced. In addition, you can build security best practices into automated workflows, and enforce security principles in 100% of your deploymen
• Improved backup processes—organizations need to back up their system frequently, to guard against accidental erasure, configuration calamity, equipment failure or cyber-attack. Automating backups on the cloud, or backing up on-premise systems automatically to the cloud, dramatically improves an organization’s resilience to disaster.
• Improved governance—when systems are set up manually or on an ad-hoc basis, administrators may have low visibility over what is actually running and may not have a centralized way to control the infrastructure. Cloud automation lets you set up resources in a standardized, controlled manner, which also means you have much more control over infrastructure running across your organization.

VBA for Office: Are you facing a repetitive clean up of fifty tables in Word? Do you want a particular document to prompt the user for input when it opens? Are you having difficulty figuring out how to get your contacts from Microsoft Outlook into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet efficiently?

You can perform these tasks and accomplish a great deal more by using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for Office—a simple, but powerful programming language that you can use to extend Office applications.

Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is the version of Visual Basic that ships with Microsoft Office. Using Excel VBA extends Macros and provides powerful skills to automate Excel. Macros can be useful in Excel and to use Excel for as much of the “heavy lifting” as possible.

The Office suite of applications has a rich set of features. There are many different ways to author, format, and manipulate documents, email, databases, forms, spreadsheets, and presentations. The great power of VBA programming in Office is that nearly every operation that you can perform with a mouse, keyboard, or a dialog box can also be done by using VBA. Further, if it can be done once with VBA, it can be done just as easily a hundred times. Beyond the power of scripting VBA to accelerate every-day tasks, you can use VBA to add new functionality to Office applications or to prompt and interact with the user of your documents in ways that are specific to your business needs.

Python Scripting: If you’ve ever spent hours renaming files or updating hundreds of spreadsheet cells, you know how tedious tasks like these can be. But what if you could have your computer do them for you?

Python is an incredibly powerful and flexible open-source language that is used in all layers of the application stack across the technology industry: from data manipulation processing real-time data feeds, to serverless applications processing commands from your personal voice assistant to being a rock-solid, general-purpose language for traditional applications.

Because of this flexibility and breadth of capabilities – extended by its extensive library of plugins – Python is an amazing tool. It can be used to build all the little scripts and utilities that simplify and automate with Python for e.g.:

• Search for text in a file or across multiple files.
• Create, update, move, and rename files and folders
• Search the Web and download online content
• Update and format data in Excel spreadsheets of any size
• Split, merge, watermark, and encrypt PDFs
• Send reminder emails and text notifications
• Fill out online forms
