No, treat your infrastructure as code. Define it programatically, version it, have a standard, automated process for recreating it.
If you're using AWS then Cloudformation (maybe with an abstraction like troposphere), will do what you need.

- grif-fin 10y ago"No, treat your infrastructure as code." Agreed. Advantage is clear and understood. My point here is: there exists something called 'Amazon Console'. I argue it is a good thing to have if done properly easing the service management as visualized management is more human friendly and APIs more computer friendly. If there exists a bad visualized service management (e.g. Amazon Console) it is the lack of skills of the humans developing it not because managing a vast complex clusters is easier through APIs/CLI and impossible/wrong via UI.
