There is a little thing called containerisation, immutable infrastructure and infrastructure as code that has happened.
This stuff is table stakes for modern applications.
Who still manually patches applications in production? Who deploys artifacts that didn’t come from a build/test pipeline? Who still SSH’s into a server and hacks a config file instead of applying the configuration change with a traceable commit / PR process?
Sysadmins who want to return the the glory days of the 90s, regaling us with tales about how everything we’re doing has been done before, and missing what’s different about it this time, and why won’t we just build .deb packages and hand it to them to run on a big baremetal server they will administer for us, that’s who.
I know, since my first 5 years of my career I was doing just that, working with crusty BOFH greybeards, before I went over to the dev side.
Ok, boomer!
