The I can only recommend you to start automating everything you do, to make tour job easier and make more time to slack 😝

Start small, and build on that.

Try Ansible, it is easy and allows you to do some really cool stuff. It helped me migrate 500+ systems from KVM to vmware, where no commercial tool was able to help me…

Creating automation takes time. I have done it with certain things, but not everything. Some things are just way too complicated to easily create automation for them.

Though I do agree that things like Ansibel can help and I have been thinking about this for a while, but then I'd have to drop everything else I'm doing for like at least 2 weeks and do JUST that, nothing else... which is not an option currently.

Plus, there is always the risk of "shit not working" after an update... and frankly, we've had that before and again, I am not getting paid enough to deal with the backlash of things like that happeneing.
