> I test on a staging environment, that duplicates(as much as possible) the prod infrastructure. I believe it's possible that nobody ever logs into any instances in the staging environment, but if that's the case then your organization is an exception to the rule. Plus you mention it's "as close as possible" to the prod infrastructure rather than identical. The point is: don't act superior by feigning ignorance that most shops still have people who occasionally log into Linux hosts. |

I said we never directly change code on production because it's bat-shit insane. That's why this thread was started. You can trace it back.
I never acted superior, but I really don't get the "me and some people I know do this so everyone must be doing it". No they're not.
And what I described in all my responses (not just to you) can be scaled down to this:
1) Do you know how to install a Linux machine?
2) Do you know how to install a DB?
3) Do you know how to take backups of your DB?
4) Do you know how to change your DB's config so that it points to other machines?
5) Can you write a shell script no more than couple lines?
You answered yes to all of the above? Then congrats you can already do what I'm describing. Yes, you can go crazy later with configuration software(ansible/puppet/etc) and better infrastructure, but the above will suffice as a first step.
So all this "haha, this guy is in his own SV bubble, haha"... yeah really not getting it, sorry.
