Benefits of automating Grafana
Observability tooling combines the collection, storage, and visualization of telemetry from many applications, infrastructure services, and other components of systems. Automation offers us a way of providing a testable, repeatable way of delivering these needs. Using industry-standard tools such as Helm, Ansible, and Terraform helps us maintain these systems in the long term. There are a lot of benefits to using automation, including the following:
- It reduces the risks associated with manual processes.
- Domain experts can provide automation for systems that developers interact with. This gives development teams confidence that they are using unfamiliar systems correctly. This knowledge comes in the following forms:
- Data architecture for telemetry
- Repeatable system architecture
- Best practices for managing data visualizations
- By providing automation, domain experts are able to focus on higher-value work by letting teams self-serve using more...
