        NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
                
                    This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

                     Despite advances in automation, many people fall back on manual infrastructure management. We often see problems caused by manual configuration of firewalls and load balancers, and especially by DBAs cutting and pasting SQL scripts to run against production databases. All of these activities, if not fully automated, should at least be scripted and repeatable across environments.
