Azure Automation - Automate efficient in the Cloud
If you plan to move your on premises Automation to Azure the good news is: Congratulations! You have defined technically descriptions of you processes to relay on.
If you think pasting this Scripts into Azure Automation Runbooks is enough to do that, this would be the same as loading all local systems to Azure and thinking “Wow, cool! We’re using efficient cloud technologies now….”
Azure Automation is a Cloud Service where you can connect Hybrid Workers to automate “on premises” systems. You may execute your Automation on premises now perhaps also automating things in Clouds already.
For example: When you monitor an event with Azure Automation and you can use Watcher Tasks. Watcher Tasks costs 60 times less than normal Runbooks.
Before you use Azure Automation be sure you know the details in Azure, which I want to highlight in this session.
Automate Right Now
Automate your routine tasks with Azure Automation begin right now - and know how to do it right, now
It's easy to start with Azure Automation, but much easier if you know how to do right

It is impossible to get such a bunch of possibilities to provide services in your own Datacenter like in in Azure and with AzureStack you can seamless provide some services On Premises for a hybrid Solutions.
But if you have invested in your own Datacenter and want or must use this resources you can provide your End Users a Self Service with Service Manager and Orchestrator. And yes, this team plays nearly for 10 years. And like in any other team you can improve the Interaction.
See what possibilities you have with aged team members
System Center Orchestrator – Dead ones live longer.
In late 2009 Microsoft acquired Opalis Software. Opalis Integration Server was provided in the System Center Suite as Opalis and later Orchestrator. Now, 10 years later System Center 2019 was released in Q1/2019 with only small changes and innovations.
What makes people use a platform which has only small innovations and is 10-year-old?
What about Service Management Automation (SMA) and Azure Automation? When and how to change to this platforms?
Best practices for a 10-year-old product.
