Scripts and Automation

1. Task Acceleration: Scripts allow IT professionals to automate routine and repetitive tasks, speeding up processes and freeing time for more strategic and creative activities.

2. Reduction of Errors: Manual task execution often leads to human errors. Scripts enable standardization of processes and reduce the risk of errors.

3. Compliance and Consistency: Automation ensures compliance with standards and procedures, providing consistency in task execution.

Examples of Scripts and Automation:

1. System Administration: Scripts can be used to automate tasks such as software installation, configuration of network devices, and server management.

2. Configuration Management: Tools like Ansible and Puppet enable automated management of server and application configurations.

3. Testing and Deployment: Automation can be used for automated software testing and deployment of new versions without manual intervention.
