Citrix aims to automate ADC deployments in the cloud with App Delivery and Security Service

Description: In 451 Research’s Voice of the Enterprise: DevOps, Workloads & Key Projects 2021 study, 34% of respondents indicated that infrastructure automation was important for their DevOps plans, followed by the use of public cloud providers (33%). Process automation came in at 32%. Automation is critical for enterprises employing DevOps. Microservice-enabled application architectures and DevOps are driving IT to automate the network, but doing so will take time (whether they do it themselves or choose to use a network automation suite) because IT must build up its staff’s skills and experience. With the launch of its App Delivery and Security Service, Citrix is attempting to bring intent-based networking to application deployment and the management of its application delivery controller (ADC).
