As always, another great/useful post Jon. Thanks for sharing. You’re posts help to keep me current whilst I’m not directly working in a hands-on role 😁

Curious, where do Lamba, Google/Azure functions come into play today in the admin space – where I used to keep a library of scripts in a folder on my pc, these would now live on GitHub/GitLab etc. Do admins today leverage FaaS over cronjobs?

And a follow up question, I’ve played a lot with AI (ChatGpt/Gemini) to help rapidly prototype scripts & programs. I find it helpful but still requires knowledge to be able to make the output actually work as expected – are admins making productive use of AI today? (Personally I feel it has become less useful over time and this may be by design to encourage upsell – always the cynic!)

Thanks again for sharing
