Valohai has built-in scheduling, as you would expect from a fully-fledged MLOps platform. As it's a platform, you can also integrate any external scheduling tool, which some customers opt for — scheduling their experiments using anything from cron jobs to Airflow pipelines.

Any Automation CoE's that centralized enterprise RPA (ex: UiPath or AA) and low-Code automation (ex: MS Power Automate) platforms as part of their organizations? What were the primary drivers for organizing this way? Benefits?

Does anyone have experience sharing with CIQ Ascender or other Ansible based management tool? We use Red Hat Automation Platform, though the cost is rather high per device, the number of end-points increasing. The Open Source AWX has no further development, raising concern on bug fix, up-to-date libs, etc. Any recommendation or experience that anyone could share?

We are currently utilizing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) on Dell infrastructure for our data center operations, which includes managing 600 ESXi servers. While Dell provides customized and validated patches for ESXi hosts, these patches are often released some time after VMware publishes them. This delay can impact our ability to quickly apply critical updates and maintain optimal performance and security. We're seeking advice on how to accelerate the patching process for ESXi hosts in our VCF environment. Specifically, understanding best practices, tools, or solutions that can help streamline the patching workflow and ensure timely application of validated patches. We are also exploring the use of VMware Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) as part of our patch management strategy. Any insights or recommendations on how to effectively manage this process?
