Well first off it’s good to see another person interested in and wanting to know more about IT automation. Secondly since your asking for advice I’ll give you some. Having gone through the transition myself a couple of years ago I can tell you that you, as well as all the members of your team need to do as much research as possible. I know that your company may be pressuring all of you into making a quick decision and implementation but you really have to buy as much time as possible. There’s nothing as bad choosing the wrong automation tools because then not only will you have to go through the entire process again but you’ll have to deal with all kinds of problems such as security issues, bugs, etc while you take care of server provisioning and work out what to do next.
