This architecture shift greatly reduced the processing latency and increased system resiliency. Monolithic structure : Since Reloaded modules were often co-located in the same repository, it was easy to overlook code-isolation rules and there was quite a bit of unintended reuse of code across what should have been strong boundaries.

IT automation is the practice of using coded instructions to carry out IT tasks without human intervention. At its most basic, automating IT processes works by executing scripts or procedures either on a schedule or in response to particular events, such as checking a file into a code repository. What is IT automation?
