Automation is a double-edged sword, yes you can automate a lot of things, but some you really should not and needs human intervention, just in the short period of time since we put this prop up we’ve had to step in and restart pods that have for no reason at all stopped syncing, or FCD that stalled, correct SQL issues, resolve CPU throttling issues, increase resources for certain pods, none of which could be done through automation or without monitoring round the clock, this infrastructure is a non-sleeping entity that needs tending to and watching over of 24/7 to ensure it runs smooth, many moving parts to a well oiled machine.
