Basics of Workload Automation Webinar
In this session, we’ll cover the fundamentals of Workload Automation (WLA) — what it is, how it differs from basic scheduling, and how to start building a scalable automation strategy.
You’ll get practical guidance on evaluating WLA solutions, so you can move forward with confidence, no matter where you are in your automation journey.
Basic scheduling tools like cron jobs and Task Scheduler may work today, but they weren’t built for the complexity that comes with growth. Join us as we discuss the following.
Agenda:
- Understanding Automation Tools
- Developing a Long-Term Strategy
- Worload Automation Best Practices
- What to look for in a WLA Solution
- Q&A
