Infrastructure Automation

Scalable provisioning built for modern business demands

Manual provisioning processes systematically slow down internal IT teams, lead to configuration errors, and make it impossible to respond quickly to modern business requirements. evoila resolves this operational bottleneck through a structured automation framework based on VCF Automation, Orchestrator, Terraform and Ansible.

The result is a standardized, repeatable deployment pipeline that grants development teams self service access. This structural shift ensures your entire IT department finally keeps pace with business velocity instead of constantly playing catch up.

Business benefits at a glance:

  • Faster time to infrastructure: Provision complete environments in minutes instead of days through standardized self service catalogs
  • Drastic error reduction: Automated, rule-based blueprints replace error-prone manual processes and prevent ad hoc configurations
  • Scalable IT organization: Your infrastructure teams deliver significantly more performance without requiring proportionally more staff

Manual workflows are a bottleneck, not a strategy

Growing cloud environments present IT teams with a structural problem. Complexity is increasing, but processes remain manual. Every manual task ties up skilled engineers and introduces critical operational risks.

The Challenge

When manual work slows down IT

IT organizations that fail to meet the demand for rapid infrastructure provisioning lose internal relevance and drive business departments straight toward shadow IT.

Manual ticketing trap

Manual provisioning costs immense engineering time, ties up highly skilled personnel, and causes uncontrolled configuration drift across your environments.

Missing self-service capabilities

Every single infrastructure request ends up as a manual ticket with the core IT team, creating artificial project delays and stalling developer velocity.

Inconsistent cluster deployments

Environments built without strict automation templates suffer from a lack of standards, making subsequent updates and security patching a high-risk guessing game.

Zero Traceability & Audit Gaps

Tracking manual infrastructure changes for compliance audits is incredibly difficult, leaving your organization exposed during platform and license audits.

Standardization is more urgent than ever

Environments without standardized deployment templates face a disproportionate operational burden during upcoming infrastructure upgrades.

Our Solution

Systematic Automation

evoila does not take a piecemeal approach. Instead of automating isolated processes, we build a consistent automation platform that covers the entire infrastructure lifecycle:

VCF Automation setup

Implementation and configuration of VCF Automation as a central platform, integrated natively into your environment and tailored to your precise governance requirements.

Orchestrator-based workflows

We develop complex, multi-stage automation workflows for processes that go beyond simple provisioning, including patch management, lifecycle automation, and continuous compliance checks.

Self-Service catalog

Creation of a structured service catalog through which developer and project teams can independently provision compliant infrastructure, without IT tickets, wait times, or configuration risks.

Governance & Guardrails

Automation without control is a risk. evoila integrates automated approval flows, role concepts, and strict policy enforcement from the very beginning so that self-service and security remain aligned.

Tech-Deep-Dive

The architecture behind IT

A granular look at the automation engines powering your reproducible infrastructure lifecycle:

VCF Automation Central Control

Known as Aria or vRealize Automation in older environments, this layer forms the core of our architecture. It provides a declarative approach to Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enabling direct control of compute, storage, and networking without external middleware dependencies.

Orchestrator Workflow Engine

The technical extension for complex processes that stretch beyond simple provisioning. Equipped with an extensive plugin library, it enables enterprise wide connectivity to ITSM tools, Active Directory, and third party APIs to execute multi-system workflows safely.

Blueprint Strategy & Templating

A well thought out blueprint framework is the key to consistent deployments. We develop structured templates with clear naming conventions, strict versioning, and reusable logic that serve as the technical foundation for your self-service catalog.

Technical Advantages

Automation Performance, Control & Traceability

Six measurable outcomes that redefine how your organization provisions infrastructure:

Reproducible Deployments

Blueprint-based templating completely eliminates configuration drift and creates fully auditable, standardized environments across your entire SDDC footprint.

Self-Service with Control

A secure service catalog with integrated approval workflows and role-based access controls guarantees agility without sacrificing corporate security.

Full Lifecycle Automation

Your entire environment lifecycle is fully mapped inside the platform, handling everything from initial provisioning and sizing adjustments to automated decommissioning.

Orchestrator Integration Power

Complex, multi-system workflows are executed seamlessly via a mature plugin library, connecting your infrastructure layers directly to your internal business tools.

Native VCF Integration

Direct, software defined control of compute, storage, and network resources without requiring unstable third-party integrations or manual tuning.

Continuous Auditability

Complete traceability for every single infrastructure change, providing reliable documentation for internal compliance regulations and external audits.

FAQs

Commonly asked questions about Automation

Yes. vRealize Automation and Aria Automation are part of the same product line—VCF Automation is the current release. evoila supports the migration, including blueprint migration, role concept adaptation, and go-live support, with minimal risk of operational disruption.

Through integrated governance: VCF Automation enables granular role concepts, approval workflows, and resource limits. evoila configures these guardrails from the start so that self-service and cost control are not at odds with each other.

Not necessarily. The Orchestrator delivers its added value in complex multi-system processes, such as ITSM integration, Active Directory connectivity, or multi-stage lifecycle workflows. evoila recommends its use following a process analysis during the assessment.

That depends on the scope and initial state. An initial basic implementation with a service catalog can be completed in a few weeks. Complex environments with Orchestrator workflows and deep ITSM integration require more time—evoila plans realistically and delivers in iterations.
