Service assurance interface addresses some of the most common frustrations with cloud transitions like unexpected cost, complex operations, and long approval processes. To achieve this, services that require dedicated resources and services that are managed through continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) chains are managed separately.i
Dedicated hosts remain mutable but expose processes for planned and time-based scaling through an API. The respective interfaces are integrated into a hybrid cloud controller. For comprehensive service assurance, health information from hosts, nodes, and appliances is aggregated into a unified view. This allows operations teams to seamlessly monitor service availability, regardless of whether the application is a process on a dedicated host, a node in a container cluster, or an appliance running on a hypervisor.
A consolidated end-to-end solution overview is essential, and it requires the collection of necessary signals from agents, APIs, or key-value stores. This single pane of glass empowers operations engineers to compare the current state of selected components with their desired state, and automate failover mechanisms independently of specific providers or orchestration models.
