This article shows a diagram that illustrates System Center - Service Management Automation (SMA) features.
Note
As Windows Azure Pack is now deprecated, you can use PowerShell ISE add-on as an alternative. For more information, see Introducing Service Management Automation ISE add-on.
Features
- The SMA web service communicates with Windows Azure Pack and authenticates users.
- The SQL Server databases store and retrieve many components. These include runbooks, runbook assets, activities, integration modules, and runbook job information.
- Runbook workers run the runbooks, and they can be used for load balancing. The management portal in Windows Azure Pack is where you author, debug, start, and stop runbooks.
