> start looking into an automation framework Cannot stress this enough! There is a sea change happening and sysadmins run the risk of being swept away unless they learn about automation (puppet/chef) software and cloud infrastructure services (openstack/aws). My new years resolution is to release screencasts on these very subjects. I have already released one on Learning Puppet with Vagrant @ http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/8-learning-puppet-with-vagrant http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/8-learning-puppet-with-vag... if anyone is interested.
