I dunno, I just feel like in my time playing pretend DevOps, I've just ended up learning how to use Terraform/Puppet/Ansible/whatever and now all of my infra actually is cattle, even though I think 9 out of 10 devs in my shoes would have gone the pets route. It was some extra work to set up, but now I feel supremely confident in the hardiness of the infra, and can scale it at will with some small tweaks. Is it perfect? Heck no! But I know for a fact when I go the "pets" route it ends up being more work in the end for me than just biting the bullet and learning a new tool. I just like knowing stuff! I enjoy diving in and getting my hands dirty learning the "best" way to handle a use case, or at least setting things up to be well understood if I ever have to pass it off to someone else more qualified than me.
