VM Task Automation involves the implementation of automated processes and workflows to streamline management tasks and operations related to virtual machines (VMs) within virtualized environments. Emerging as a response to the growing complexity and scale of VM infrastructures, task automation frameworks leverage scripting, orchestration, and scheduling capabilities to automate repetitive tasks such as provisioning, deployment, configuration management, patching, backup, and monitoring of VMs. By reducing manual intervention and human error, VM task automation enhances operational efficiency, accelerates deployment cycles, and improves overall system reliability. Common automation tools and platforms include VMware vRealize Automation, Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), and open-source solutions like Ansible and Puppet.
