Empower dev teams with self-service cloud environments via Cloudify & ServiceNow

According to Gartner, 1 in 4 developers state the biggest impediment to their agile delivery processes is having to wait on DevOps resources to provide the infrastructure and services developers need to build and deploy their application code. They desire self-service, just-in-time delivery of the cloud resources they need to build the next app or the next feature. However, DevOps teams need to avoid having their cloud platforms become the "wild west", with different teams deploying different cloud resources in different ways, many of which may violate IT and security policies. DevOps teams need to control what cloud resources are deployed, how they are deployed, and they need to ensure that what is deployed complies with their enterprise's policies.

Cloudify, integrated with ServiceNow ITSM (IT Service Management) and ITOM (IT Operations Management) provides a seamless way to automate the orchestration of provisioning, management, and governance of cloud environments in a manner that supports the needs of both development teams and DevOps teams. Developers get a self-service experience for requesting the creation or management of their cloud environments via ServiceNow ITSM Service Catalog. These requests end up looking like any other request in the IT Service Catalog. DevOps teams can define certified environment blueprints in Cloudify that are used to create deployments of cloud environments when fulfilling requests from the development teams submitted via the Service Catalog. And DevOps and IT Governance teams can get automated remediation of resources that are out of compliance with cloud governance policies to ensure that not only are they aware of cloud resources that violate cloud governance policies, but that those resources can be easily remediated in an efficient way.
