and the number of tasks involved in maintaining cloud infrastructure has made them increasingly complex.</p><p dir="ltr">Many organizations initially take an ad hoc approach to cloud operations, often adopting new tools and services in a reactive way. This results in elevated costs, a lack of visibility across tools and teams, and a potential increase in security vulnerabilities through an expanded attack surface.</p><p dir="ltr">A CloudOps approach is more strategic and proactive. It combines the technologies, teams, and business priorities involved in keeping IT systems running smoothly. It also relies on automation to unite the many processes involved in managing cloud environments.</p><p dir="ltr">Organizations that adopt an effective CloudOps strategy realize:</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Increased cost savings.</strong> Organizations running on cloud infrastructure don’t need to worry about power, cooling, and other facility costs associated with maintaining infrastructure on premise, thus eliminating a major business expense. Cloud services are also more cost effective because they follow a consumption-based billing model. Many major cloud providers―like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure―offer <a href="/en/topics/cloud-computing/committed-spend" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="5c9c189e-da7d-412e-8ebd-2421c5297cf6" data-entity-substitution="canonical">committed spend</a> discounts that scale with usage and reward long-term commitments.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Improved security.</strong> Cloud providers are responsible for security at the underlying infrastructure layer. They handle software updates and security patching to reduce the risk of vulnerabilities, and they engage in continuous monitoring to identify and neutralize threats quickly. Most major cloud providers also offer first- and third-party tools and services to help businesses manage cloud security, enforce compliance standards, and protect critical data.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Scalability.</strong> Cloud services are easily scalable and able to meet sudden or anticipated increases in demand. You can use application programming interfaces (APIs), an automation tool, or a self-service portal from your chosen cloud platform to quickly provision servers, virtual machines, storage, and bandwidth at the touch of a button.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Fewer disruptions.</strong> You can deploy upgrades to cloud infrastructure and applications with minimal downtime, meaning business operations can proceed normally during routine or unplanned updates.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Increased agility. </strong>A strategic CloudOps approach aims to automate the manual, mundane tasks that take up a significant amount of time and company resources. By automating everything from <a href="/en/topics/automation/what-is-cloud-migration" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="b89cd46f-e631-47fb-8145-834c7be7ea60" data-entity-substitution="canonical">cloud migration</a> to application lifecycle management, CloudOps teams can work faster and more efficiently. </p><rh-cta><a href="/en/resources/automation-in-a-cloud-space-brief" target="_self" data-analytics-linktype="cta" data-analytics-text="Learn more about automating cloud technologies">Learn more about automating cloud technologies</a></rh-cta></div></div></div>  <div class="rh-group--layout" data-rh-layout="stacked" ><div class="rh-group-body" data-rh-layout="min-stacked" ><header class="rh-standard-header--component" ><div class="rh-standard-header-container"><h2 class="rh-standard-header-headline-medium pfe-jump-links-panel__section" id="cloudops-vs-devops" nav-label="CloudOps vs. DevOps" >CloudOps vs. DevOps</h2></div></header><div class="rh-generic--component" ><p dir="ltr"><a href="/en/technologies/management/ansible/devops" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="03446b46-0795-42a0-bd3b-3089b8ad63a0" data-entity-substitution="canonical">DevOps</a>, a combination of software development and IT operations, is an approach to taking an application from development to deployment more quickly.
