Improve Your Automation and Reduce Toil

In the course of your day as an SRE, or DevOps, or SysAdmin, your knowledge and expertise are in high demand. You can’t do every task every person in your org needs from you without the help of comprehensive automation. Automation can be tricky. Some systems aren’t built with automation in mind, but assume that a human being will be there to keep an eye on things and fix errors on the fly, and we can’t be everywhere when there’s too much to do. Plus, you want to provide access to automation for the right folks and keep a record of when the tools were used.

All of this must be managed, even in spite of massive rates of change and innovation.
