5. Auto-return of unused resources to the shared pool

6. Cloud management automation via API and CLI

1. Because of frequently changing business and regulatory requirements, DevOps often need to perform a lot of development and testing iterations

2. As a result, they have to deploy a big amount of testing environments

3. Developers spend 80–90% of their time on automating setup of testing environments

• Upgrades’ testing process takes too much time

• Inefficient usage of datacenters` resources

• Low quality of testing process• Failures during the software

updates

Risks

Jelastic Solution1. Up to 60% increase in DevOps

productivity 2. Up to 75% costs reduction for

creating of testing environments

3. Up to 50% infrastructure TCO savings

Results of Integration

Management of Testing Environments

2. Automatic horizontal scaling and clustering, based on load triggers

3. Automated replication for application servers and databases

4. Continuous upgrade of applications

5. Automatic recovery after failures

6. Support for the applications distribution across multiple availability zones and data centers

1. Web services` availability is critical for most companies

2. Load spikes handling is complicated and requires additional resources

• Infrastructure failure or visitors’ influx causes failure of application

• Company suffers a loss of prestige and loses money

1. Automatic high availability of applications

2. Automatic handling of load spikes

3. Downtime is reduced in case of infrastructure failure
