For the final week
of class, we learned about cloud automation and using common terminology that
are used in automation services and techniques. Refining documents and logs are
important to keeping the network and system consistent and effective. It’s a
good habit to update the number of resources being used and being contributed
over time. That’s when managing the life cycle plays a crucial role in evolving
the system and implement appropriate processes.
During our reading, I learned five
concepts of lifecycle management: roadmaps, version control, updates and upgrades,
migrations, and deprecations (West, 2022, pp. 401-402). The roadmap provides a
visual perspective of the resource’s life cycle. It outlines all significant
phases and goes into detail of each stage. Version control leans more towards
monitoring and keeping a look out on any level of changes done in the system. Updates
and upgrades are related to patching, which eliminates any errors and add
necessary features. Migration happens during growth. If the system grows, it
will need to move to another location and hope that environment provides the nourishment
it needs. Lastly, deprecations relate to resources that are out of date and are
no longer available. It’s the professional’s job to evaluate the area and
create a plan to proceed with new features.
Blogging helps improve my writing
skills and language usage. It allows me to be expressive and improve my craft.
In addition, it helps build my brand of work and allow myself to be known to
many professional companies. Blogging helps me in my current job by applying
everything I learned from this class and properly implement topics from
different weeks. After school, I will consider blogging when important topics
that I’m knowledgeable of cross my path.
