Manual Administration
Manual Administration refers to the process of managing and configuring systems, applications, or infrastructure through direct, hands-on intervention without automation tools. It involves tasks like manually installing software, configuring settings, updating systems, and troubleshooting issues through command-line interfaces or graphical user interfaces. This approach is often used in small-scale or legacy environments where automation is not feasible or cost-effective.
Developers should learn Manual Administration for scenarios requiring precise control, such as debugging complex issues, setting up isolated test environments, or working with systems that lack automation support. It is essential in legacy systems, small projects with limited resources, or when automation tools fail, providing a foundational understanding of system operations that underpins more advanced automated practices.
