Easier Than Legos: How Automox Automates IT With Automox

Episode 07   Published July 18, 2024 12 minute watch

Summary

Host David van Heerden builds a pile of Legos while telling the story of how Automox uses its own platform internally, the company's take on drinking its own champagne. He recalls joining the IT team as a self-described non-engineer alongside two sysadmins who scripted onboarding one endpoint at a time in Python, PowerShell, and Bash. By loading those same scripts into Automox worklets and pairing them with zero-touch deployment, the team reached the point where new laptops shipped straight from the vendor to the employee. IT never had to touch a single one, even during a hiring surge of roughly 38 people in one day.
