I am right now just running powerCLI scripts for automation. However, I would like to use a tool like VCO for automation.
However, every vendor has their own tool for automation. Cisco has their own tool, OpenStack has a tool, IBM has a tool, EMC has VIPRE, NetApp has WFA. If I am using Cisco, Openstack, IBM, VMware, EMC, and Netapp in my enviornment, should I use all or some of these automation tools? Which tool should sit at the "top" and manage the automation of the other tools? Is centralizing my automation logic always necessary?
Is there a design guide for stepping me through these questions?
Thanks!
