I have two system running my production (Linux) and now adding one more. I manually copy over Nginx, sshd, Mysql etc. configuration files. Figured now is the time to move to something like ansible, fabric etc.

A friend suggested docker, but the problem is, I can change my existing production machines’ infrastructure. The downtime is way too much to accept.

Do you have suggestions?

Correct me here and this is a genuine question.

We (software professionals) expect to go home at a reasonable time, still be paid the best salary among all verticals and we often complain about work life balance. But we have a different set of expectations when it comes to doctors, day care professionals, military etc. We don’t expect a doctor to discontinue his operation if he worked for 9 hours a day or infantryman to stop shooting. Heck, I will be furious if the daycare professional chose not to keep a watch on my child even beyond the designated time if I fail to show up.

Is this because we lack empathy or are we living in our own bubbles?
