Introduction

Welcome to Microsoft System Center: Designing Orchestrator Runbooks. We believe that orchestration and automation are becoming increasingly important in IT organizations of all sizes and across all infrastructure types ranging from on-premises to cloud-based. Orchestration and automation can help reduce the cost of IT while improving consistency and quality of IT service delivery. Like any powerful technology. however, it can be both used and abused. 

Our objective with this book is to provide a framework for runbook design and IT process automation to help you get the most out of System Center Orchestrator 2012 and to help you utilize Orchestrator in concert with the rest of the System Center for an enterprise-wide and systematic approach to process automation. We will provide detailed guidance for creating what we call “modular automation” where small, focused pieces of automation are progressively built into larger and more complex solutions. We detail the concept of an automation library, where over time enterprises build a progressively larger library of interoperable runbooks and components. Finally, we will cover advanced scenarios and design patterns for topics like error handling and logging, state management, and parallelism. But before we dive into the details, we’ll begin by setting the stage with a quick overview of System Center 2012 Orchestrator and deployment scenarios. 

Microsoft System Center 2012 is Microsoft’s solution for cloud and datacenter management as well client device management and security. From its origins nearly 20 years ago as primarily a desktop management solution, System Center has evolved into a leading enterprise management solution across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructure including devices, applications, and services. 

System Center 2012 is comprised of a suite of components, each focused on part of the infrastructure management lifecycle such as provisioning, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery. From an IT process automation perspective, the System Center components are the “arms and legs” of the automation capability, which act on end systems while System Center Orchestrator, and the runbooks created within it, are the “brains” of the automation, controlling the order and flow of activities and responding to events during the automated process.   Download
