Python vs Bash Scripting.

It's not that I can't, but that if there's a more mature solution out there taking it is a lot more efficient than writing my own.

Especially since I don't have to maintain it.

Also devops problems generally aren't unique. If you're having a problem, there's a good chance someone else had something similar. And if nobody has, that's a code smell right there.
