I think the biggest lie in IT is the idea of “automation” being a one-time task. Whether you are configuring an OCI instance or setting up a WordPress site, the tech is the easy part. The hard part is the maintenance.
If you aren’t checking your logs or updating your plugins, your “automated” system is basically a ticking time bomb. It is a bit like learning the piano. You can’t just buy a grand piano and expect to play Chopin. You have to sit there and do the scales, even when it’s boring.
