ELANCO
Elanco ’ s approach to effective cloud utilisation Bull reiterates that automation is the key to enabling Elanco to use the cloud effectively . He says if you are trying to operate workloads in the cloud - which by their very nature can be highly dynamic ( ephemeral ) - you need to have a mechanism that can keep pace , not reliant on traditional service requests .
This is especially true when looking to maximise the strengths of cloud , including continued innovation , cost optimisation and security .
“ The automation layer gives us end-to-end visibility , as well as the ability to proactively and reactively manage our workloads , covering spend and our security posture .”
Cloud automation , Bull says , also enables dynamic scaling ( up and down ).
“ We recognised very early on that our ability to deliver at scale couldn ' t be accomplished if we were to follow traditional , manual processes ”

“ Seen from the other side of the coin , if we were attempting to do this manually , not only would we need a lot of human capacity , but realistically we wouldn ' t have the speed and agility that is being demanded by our business and customers .”
