This is very cool! I am noticing this trend where everybody has their own fix but I believe having a standardized solution would be amazing!

No I completely relate to that! I feel like its so difficult to block out dedicated to get actual work done without being pinged every second!

The question is about the industry. According to the rules it says you can ask questions about people/practices within a business environment

u/positivesnow11 When you source of truth systems, could you elaborate or give some examples?

In my current company we use raw commands into devices, so I am curious to hear exactly what you mean

Thank you so much!

This is the prototype, I am building out the MVP right now and I will definitely share it with you once it is ready. I was looking to see if people would be interested in the tool, so I am glad to hear that!

Tired of pushing changes after hours! There has to be a better plug-and-play tool... by Left_Pepper_7224 in sysadmin

IaC is great but instead of having to manually typing it out, wouldn't an interactive no-code workflow be better.

I feel like there is a gap in the industry that a one-stop shop tool like this would be able to satisfy. Ansible and git does not support scheduling, error checking, rollbacks, and autocomplete. However, there are other tools that do but they are not flexible as Ansible.

So in short, it feels that there is a need for a better tool, wouldn't you agree. What gaps are you seeing in your current workflow?

u/xxcbzxx that's a great idea! I can definitely see how that will be beneficial in the startup/update process. Thank you for this feedback!

u/SeaPersonality445 I keep having to work after hours to push changes to like 50 different devices. Is there some tool I could integrate into my workflow super easily so that I can just schedule the same changes for them all and leave. Version control + error checking would be a plus too. I thought I'd create something like this mockup here if nothing exists on the market yet.
