If an org has sysadmin(s) what are devs doing in production? I'm not referring to juniors or devs, although shit obviously rolls down hill.

My point is that whatever is done over SSH is at the very least repeatable with relative ease even if it's incorrect.

SSH has a command history. RDP means recalling what guis were clicked through and which options were selected. Neither is particularly scalable and both are imperfect but only one of those is faulty by default.

In the case of ssh at least I can copy and paste (then fix) some idiot's commands into a script as a starting point for automation. What are my options after a whackamole RDP session?




If you edit a file via SSH, all you’ll see in the shell history is that you edited that file. You don’t see what got changed.

But you’re certainly right that doing ad-hoc fixes is a losing battle, regardless of the platform.
