Business Challenges in Resource Management

Red Hat faced inefficiencies in their automation workflows due to legacy Jenkins pipelines and Puppet-based configuration management. Their infrastructure suffered from 24/7 resource costs despite intermittent job execution needs, lack of parallel job execution capabilities, and failure-prone cleanup processes that left orphaned AWS resources.
