Until a few years ago, almost nobody did things this way (the tools just weren't there); and even now, there are plenty of people who don't. It's too much overhead to deal with if you're spinning servers up and down only infrequently.
- stephenr 12y agoNo one cared about anything until we discovered/identified a better way to do said thing. If you're doing it infrequently this is even more of a reason to use a reproducible system, otherwise recreating the environment when the inevitable happens is even harder (you don't even have the benefit of repeated steps to aid you in the process) I know some of the existing tools are a massive overhead for small operations - that doesn't make the goal in general any less worthy.
