> How do I convince managers or seniors to focus on automation and monitoring tools?
By providing solutions. You don't sound like you're busy doing stuff all the time so you can spend the time you are waiting for a meeting just doing things. Find a few low hanging fruits where you can make life for others easier, preferably things that save them time. Over time you build a reputation and people will start to actually listen to what you say. Until then, don't talk, just do.
- kenbob 10y agoThanks for suggestion. I've tried that few times (configured staging hosts in minutes using Ansible which saved time for me at least), but other folks were not interested. Hopefully I can find things that other people do frequently by hand.
- FlopV 10y agoChanging culture is not an easy task, but can be very rewarding. If you can work on those solutions that save X dollars or time, and can show the value that solution brings, people will start to buy into what you're selling. Goodluck.
