Automation is THE big thing these days. Software delivery and infrastructure changes in regards to provisioning, creating and tearing down servers, is no longer a niche activity for only the largest and most complex networks. Nowadays, everybody is racing to automate their environments and achieving an ever faster DEV-QA-PRODUCTION Life-Cycle.
