Automation is one of the core practices of Continuous Delivery. While companies are getting better at automating the management of infrastructure and environments, one commonly forgotten aspect is infrastructure automation of development workstations. This leads to huge gains in productivity by avoiding manually building specific environments and allows a seamless pairing environment. As with other parts of the environment, tools like Puppet and Chef can be used though they are not entirely necessary as the judicious use of platform packaging and language build tools can be sufficient.

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
