The DataOps movement is certainly gaining momentum and, as a key supporting tool, the Delphix Dynamic Data Platform (DDDP) is quickly growing with it. More and more large enterprises are deploying tens or even hundreds of Delphix engines throughout their data centres in all parts of the world. With that comes the inevitable challenge of managing such an estate and specifically with Delphix, as an example, managing system configurations, user accounts and privileges that are locally configured on each engine becomes unwieldy and time consuming. For instance, the enterprise may have a global support model with a dedicated team of support engineers who look after the day to day running of the estate. The support team take on a new engineer who needs access to every engine to perform their role and we really don’t want to manually access each engine individually to add a new support user account.
