HWA-GIT-SNOW Integration: Application Code Promotion and Scheduling Objects Promotion Orchestration

This Blog aims to showcase how a Company using HWA and maintaining all its Application Code on GIT alongwith all Scheduling Objects could also promote and manage the entire Code Promotion using HWA while also tracking the Whole Process on Service Now. We consider that the Customer has three Code Repositories called QA_Repo , PREPROD_REPO ,PROD_Repo .Customer would promote his Application Code+Scheduling Objects from QA_Repo to PREPROD_Repo or alternatively from PREPROD_Repo to PROD_Repo. A Request is placed on Service Now by the relevant Application Team whenever they have to promote all the Application Code+Scheduling Objects.

Let us begin with understanding of Google Cloud Function plugin and how it benefits our workload automation users. “GCP is a plugin that helps you to invoke GCP Cloud Functions in a synchronous way and also monitor the job”. GCP requires no servers to provision, manage, or upgrade. It automatically scales up based on the load. It has Integrated monitoring, logging, and debugging capability. It has built-in security at role and per function level based on the principle of least privilege. It also has the networking capabilities for hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios. Serverless Computing: Serverless computing is an execution model for the cloud. A cloud provider dynamically allocates, then charges user for only resources needed to execute a piece of code.

Let us begin with understanding of Azure what it is all about before moving to our Azure Databricks plugin and how it benefits our workload automation users. “Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that enables you to quickly build, deploy and manage applications across a global network of Microsoft-managed datacentres. You can build applications using any language, tool, or framework. And you can integrate your public cloud applications with your existing IT environment.” Azure is incredibly flexible, and allows you to use multiple languages, frameworks, and tools to create the customised applications that you need.

In this Blog, we would go through a UseCase to demonstrate a Customer wanting to Track his Application Deployment through Service Now uses HWA to accomplish the same while also orchestrating the entire flow of Application Deployment and Service Now Ticketing Orchestration through HWA. Requirement: An Application Team wants to use Containerized deployment of its Application packaged as jar files into an Application Server from time to time. The Application would be deployed alongwith a Database which could either be one of Mongo DB or Postgre-SQL DB instance to be deployed as a Container alongwith the Application.
