Path to NoOps part 2: How infrastructure as code makes cloud automation attainable—and repeatable—at scale

Dynatrace illustrates that achieving NoOps, the concept of fully automated IT operations requiring minimal human intervention, is feasible through the adoption of infrastructure-as-code and modern AIOps. By utilizing its AI engine, Davis®, Dynatrace automates the detection, identification, and resolution of issues, significantly reducing the mean time to repair (MTTR). This approach has enabled Dynatrace to increase release frequency and reduce production bugs, demonstrating the practicality of NoOps at scale. Dynatrace has also developed the Cloud Automation control plane, which extends these capabilities to DevOps pipelines, enabling teams to automate repetitive tasks and focus on innovation. Additionally, the company introduced Monitoring-as-code (Monaco) to streamline application monitoring processes. While NoOps may not completely eliminate the need for operations staff, it allows organizations to reduce operational costs and improve application performance by focusing on customer satisfaction.
