IT Automation
The Good, the Bad, and the Awesome?
How many times have you been faced with the same boring process of onboarding a new user, or building a server that was just like the last hundred that you built? And how did you feel the last time you built a script that does a repetitive task for you and saved you time? Both of these you would think are a dichotomy between long boring repetitive tasks and drudgery to the satisfying and pleasing knowledge that you now have more time on your hands for other things. I suggest these are just two points on the same path. One is recognizing a problem and the other is the resolution. Automation, when used properly, is an efficient and cost-effective solution to tasks that are repetitive and ongoing.
