This might be too broad of a question but could you give some pointers on where to start with automation? Possibly, what tools to look into, what major tasks would be ideal to automate, or what a typical workflow built on automation might look like?
- relativkreativ 12y agoI would start with small shell scripts (or the Windows equivalent). Do you need to add users and set their initial password often? Note the commands needed, put them in a shell script and create a user with your script next time. Then make your script accept parameters and handle errors. Automation has two main benefits: Simplifying repetitive tasks and reducing errors - and this can be achieved even with the simplest shell script. For popular tools, you can take a look and Puppet and/or Chef, tools for provisioning servers and managing configurations.
