You will also write tests for your functions and integrate CI/CD for these tests.

Getting started with IT automation-an executive view

Having returned from our N-able Empower event in Las Vegas about a month ago from writing this, I was surprised at just how many attendees felt like they were not doing enough to automate their IT processes.
