Have you heard the phrase “Automate All the Things”? That seemed to be the top buzz phrase of 2018 and means different things to different people.
Kicking off the T-SQL Tuesday season for 2019, I would like to ask, what does “Automate All the Things” mean to you? Everyone’s environment is different, everyone’s day-to-day looks different, everyone is a fan of different technologies and everyone’s environment is of different size. While I might want to automate checking of my backup success across my 500 servers, you might want to automate how new servers are provisioned. This can be a very broad topic, that could include a broad range of technologies. You might choose one type of technology to accomplish a task, where I might choose another.
So technically there are two tasks for this month:
- What do you want to automate or what automation are you proud of completing?
- What is your go-to technology for automation?
Possible suggestions/ideas:
- PowerShell
- Chef
- Ansible
- Terraform
- DevOps
- tSQLt
- Containers
- Cloud
- VSTS
- Python
- Bash
- Code Deployments
- VS Code
- dbatools
- T-SQL (honorable mention)
This is a T-SQL Tuesday, so there are rules.
- Publish your contribution on Tuesday, January 8th, 2019 between 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC.
- Include the T-SQL Tuesday Logo and have it link to this post.
- Please comment below with a link to your post.
- Tweet about your post using #tsql2sday.
- If you’d like to host in the future, Steve Jones.
This is a great topic.

I took some liberty and ran with the title and the intro, rather than the topic as outlined in the rest of your post. I hope you don’t mind….

Loved the topic. https://sqlzelda.wordpress.com/2019/01/08/t-sql-tuesday-110-automate-all-the-things/
A bit long, and without code examples, but one of my favorite automation/simplification stories – if only because I stopped spending 75% of my time tracking down and fixing problems. 🙂
