Automate Cloud like a Smart Home Thermostat

Managing cloud resources can be likened to the evolution of home thermostats.

Initially, thermostats were basic: set a temperature, then manually turn it on or off to maintain comfort. Similarly, early cloud management involved simple, manual controls.

Next came programmable thermostats, allowing for temperature schedules based on time of day or week. This mirrors a more sophisticated cloud management approach, with resources scaled according to predefined schedules.

Now, we have smart thermostats that adapt based on presence in the home, much like advanced cloud management tools that automatically adjust resources based on real-time usage.

Reflect on your company's cloud management: Is it manually controlled, scheduled, or intelligently responsive to current needs? 

When it's a holiday and nobody is working, are your cloud servers working?
