We are excited to announce that PagerDuty® Runbook Automation and PagerDuty® Process Automation On Prem are now available on the AWS Marketplace, the leading global cloud provider. With more than 200 different cloud services, AWS makes it simple and attractive to build and grow your cloud-native business and/or migrate your existing infrastructure to the cloud, so you can begin to take advantage of the unlimited scale, agility, and flexibility the cloud offers.

With the rising complexity of our digital ecosystems, incidents are occurring at an unprecedented rate. To combat the additional strain, incident responders are looking to software to help them establish a scalable, repeatable incident response process that reduces toil and noise and gets the right people on the scene at the right time. The best incident response software addresses the entire lifecycle of an incident.

Welcome to our final post in our EI Architecture Series on Intelligent Alert Grouping. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series, and if you’d like to take a look at any of our prior posts, please use the ei-architecture-series tag. Let’s take a moment and recap everything we’ve learned.

The cloud is easy and powerful—until it’s not. Once companies have customers, commitments, and compliance concerns, they often have to create cloud operations teams to manage the cloud on behalf of their fellow employees. Often, organizations that migrate to the cloud find themselves hampered by inefficient cloud operations if they haven’t standardized their IT procedures for operability.

Let’s face it. Incidents can be expensive—really expensive. But the high cost of incidents within a production environment isn’t always due to a compromised service or negative customer experience.

We’re excited to announce a new set of updates and enhancements to PagerDuty’s Digital Operations Platform. Recent updates from the product team include On-Call Management and Incident Response, Process Automation, to PagerDuty Community & Advocacy Events. New capabilities enable users and customers to resolve incidents faster, do the following, and more.

Sometimes heritage is better than new. Some people favor Coca-Cola Classic over New Coke, and heirloom tomatoes over regular tomatoes. Some Luddites might say the same thing about cloud computing. “I won’t put my (app/data) in the cloud! It will be more (secure | reliable | cheaper) if I run it myself in my own data center.”

Spring is blooming here at PagerDuty, and so is our automation product line. We’re thrilled to share some exciting product announcements. First, we’ve officially rebranded our automation product line, Rundeck®, as PagerDuty® Process Automation. Fundamentally, everyone who buys Rundeck becomes a PagerDuty customer, so we decided to make it less confusing.

Automation in the enterprise is nothing new. Engineers have been working with automation tools and frameworks for decades. From configuration management tools, to continuous integration and delivery pipelines to cloud formation, you name it—automation is part of the fabric of nearly any technology use case in the business landscape. If the previous statement is true, then why does automation still seem to pair with so much manual work?

I’m excited to announce that today, PagerDuty is taking our automation capabilities to new scale and scope as we enter into a definitive agreement to acquire Catalytic. With their technology and talented team we accelerate the delivery of enterprise-wide process automation that manages no-code workflows across the business, broadly applicable to any workflow, for any employee.
