Self-Service Automation

This demo incorporates a number of technologies including VMWare vCenter, AWS, the ServiceNow ITSM, and Ansible Automation Platform. Customers should be familiar with some or all of them.

The demo consists of the following:

  1. Self-Service catalog with dynamic forms (price estimate, field validation)
  2. Catalog item to order a VM in specified on-premise datacenter
  3. Catalog item to order a VM in AWS
  4. Request updated as progress occurs
  5. Inventory management through SNOW
  6. Traceability through SNOW CMDB

Takeaways

  1. Scalable IT self-service
  2. SNOW is the business logic center. It integrates processes and provides process orchestration and transparency
  3. Ansible is the glue that ties in IT systems (servers, applications…etc)
  4. Ansible reports back to SNOW as systems are updated
