Infrastructure Automation

Overview

A collection of tools and scripts created to automate infrastructure operations.

Some are tiny utilities.

Others eventually grow into actual services.

Goals

The general rule is simple:

If I have to perform the same operation repeatedly, it should probably become a script.

Tools

The toolbox includes automation written in:

• Python
• Go
• Bash

Depending on the problem, the simplest appropriate tool wins.

Approach

Automation should reduce cognitive load rather than create another system that needs babysitting.

Readable code and predictable behavior are more important than clever abstractions.
