Automation can only solve your reliability problems if that automation is perfect. But if you were capable of writing perfect software, we wouldnt be talking about your reliability problems.
Automation is only part of the reliability story, you’ve got to be ready for when it breaks, too. Because I promise you, your reliability automation is going to break. Will you be ready for when it does?

@norootcause automation does tend to solve the problems of fallibility, rather than reliability (i.e., automation doesn't make your software more robust, but it does eliminate a lot of "oops").
