Things have evolved a lot in the ops space since then.&lt;p&gt;With advent of container orchestration of the operational automation pieces have also moved to the orchestration layer. There have been quite some new tools in the space I have been tracking for instance Fylament [2] which got acquired by netapp, blinkops etc. Post rendezvous with this domain, some bigger problems most of the major framework tools like this have is that, it is very hard to get started. There are lot of pre-requisites given the nature of the ops automation, this leads to a problem where it is very hard to active a customer. Secondly, these frameworks are always competing with it is bash&amp;#x2F;python script deployed with some container orchestration or some cronjobs. I have also seen people write CRDs and reconciliation loops in k8s doing lot of the tasks these automation frameworks would do.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;StackStorm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;StackStorm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.netapp.com&amp;#x2F;newsroom&amp;#x2F;press-releases&amp;#x2F;news-rel-20220223-487305&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.netapp.com&amp;#x2F;newsroom&amp;#x2F;press-releases&amp;#x2F;news-rel-2022...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>StackStorm: Event-driven automation</title><url>https://github.com/StackStorm/st2</url></story>
