I would like to repeat that it is all about CI/CD ( I do not have to highlight it since I made myself clear before). Companies (customers) that do not implement CI/CD for the most part do not appreciate the evolution to the Cloud. Thanks to Cloud computing and the implementation of automation the speed of developing and delivering time for applications is faster. I enjoy engineering systems that almost do not require manual intervention from the moment that we commit code to source control.
I have enjoyed seeing teams confidence raise by the nature of CI, knowing that tests are well crafted, and real to what it will show in production. That a whole piece of infrastructure is created at demand, automatically for CI and once that the fast feedback is reported, it is brought down until the next test, which it could be some few minutes later. This is not a buzzword, it is real results that benefits organizations that wants faster deployments without compromising quality assurance and I have the fortune to work doing that. There is pride in me when I know I have engineered a system that provides reproducible results and that has been committed to source control and that can be brought to life in several minutes.
In fact, with the utilization of containers now I can even provide quicker infrastructure where immutability is possible.
It is not my intention to convince anyone (I am not in that business) but I want to reintegrate my original statement.
