Explicitly the reason for automating things, esp. since network connections don't require a ton of labor once provisioned.

Orchestration engines help to do the former (Ansible, Salt, Puppet, whatever), and they usually tie into monitoring systems like Nagios, ScienceLogic, or SolarWinds, and can trip, and then launch, remediation efforts automatically.
