Questions
We change servers by hand. Where do we start?
Write one environment as code, then repeat it.
Does automation remove our control?
No: every change is reviewed and approved before it runs.
How soon will we see a difference?
Usually within weeks: the first automated pipeline removes most manual deployment steps.
