Methodological Foundations for Selecting Automation Tools for Supporting the High-Level Software Environment of Automated Control Systems for Technological Objects
Incoming article date: 05.05.2025The high-level software environment of automated process control systems requires reproducible and predictable maintenance. This article outlines the requirements for automation tools that ensure a consistent execution environment and independence of procedures from its current state. An assessment of the architectural characteristics of common solutions is provided. The joint use of Terraform and Ansible is justified as the foundation of a formalized maintenance model.
Keywords: software environment, automated control system, maintenance, reproducibility, configuration, automation, life cycle, computing environment, change management, programming language.
