In this chapter you’ll learn about data center process automation using System Center 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2. The modern datacenter is so highly automated that it requires few actual physical staff to keep things running. Another benefit of automation is that complex repetitive tasks are handled by pre-configured workflows. Automating a complex process provides you with repeatable results. When you perform complex processes manually, there is always the chance that things will go off the rails should you get distracted.
Objectives in this chapter:
