    It’s automated, I don’t see thousands of people in a massive warehouse running around with printed documents filing them in stacks of boxes.

      That is not what I was talking about. There are still people that need to monitor the code and the storage spaces. Servers don’t just magically have space. Especially if they are doing anything on the cloud. Making them accessable is a database feature that has to be daunting.

        You’re talking 8,000 employees.

        And I’d bet all that server management is done by a subcontractor in the data center (having worked in enterprise for decades, this is how it’s done).

        FTEs often don’t even touch production, they work things out in Test/Pre-prod, then document it, and hand it off to Change Management and their change vendor (those folks in the data center).

        Those change engineers do changes for multiple clients, which makes their time less expensive since they’re fully utilized.
