Sorry, but how did you manage to make so many assumptions from that? Everything I need from Ops is already enumerated and specified more than well in tickets (which is required, as is par for course with the sysadmin from hell stereotype), and documented in Markdown files within my app's source code. I generate scripts for them since that's what they WANT and ASKED for several times. They literally want me and other managers to help with DevOps (Heck, I'm even AWS certified), but don't trust me and others to give access. They ask for scripts and I comply to save their time. How am I on the hook if they want me to create scripts, but some of the new hires don't know how to use Terraform/CloudFormation? > "there is a culture problem. You both need to understand how that works, if they don't have enough time, then you're understaffed, that needs to be fixed." The culture problem is Ops wanting to do everything and not trusting. If they don't want to "prodfuck", just review every script. Or perhaps test them in the staging AWS account that I pay for with my own money. Or just stop asking me to make infrastructure as code. Or suggest a fourth option instead of wasting my time and being disrespectful. I can't change other people's behavior. I can only change mine. If they are understaffed I can help, or they can hire more. Wasting my time and making me do pointless work is not the answer.
