Is there a difference with a set of scripts that have been carefully reviewed and approved? Those scripts can have parameters, and use authentication to handle the different scenarios.
If a scenario is new, the sysadmins should handle that by changing the scripts or hide it in the CI. Again: approved and reviewed.
And if it hasn’t been approved AND you don’t know what you’re doing, you shouldn’t experiment on the infrastructure of the company and let professionals do their job. I don’t see the added value of Foyle here.

It’s false. I struggle with what I need to do, and that’s why I talk to product owners, bosses, architects, and employees. Once everything has been clearly defined, the solution is easier to implement. Engineering is about understanding what needs to be done and that’s the hard part.
