Why should I automate?
“Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.”
Isaac Asimov
Why?
- Reliability: Fewer errors from manual processes
- Efficiency: SysAdmins/Ops will have time to do what they should do (improve processes, performance,...)
- Agility: Increased speed of product deliverability
- Repeatability: Don't waste time on doing what you already do
- Flexibilty: Ability to scale (Black Friday!!)
