Automation Engine

The automation engine reacts to events occurring in the region to ensure that the managed resources are in their desired states.

It relieves you of routine operational tasks so that you can concentrate on abnormal operational conditions.

It also minimizes the impact of a failure to the users of a service. If a failure occurs while the service is idle, the service is recovered automatically before a user requires that service. That is, the users are unaware of the failure and see the service as continuously available.
