Modern RHEL Operations on Azure with Copilot

The thing about handing a machine the keys to your infrastructure is that it feels, at first, like a small act. A prompt. A paragraph. You press Enter and walk to the window while it works, and for a few minutes you can almost convince yourself nothing has changed. But something has.

On a Tuesday in Atlanta in May, I described exactly what I needed, and the machine built something real: a live application on RHEL 10 on Azure, while a room full of strangers joined in on their phones. Then something broke in production. Naturally, we asked the machine what went wrong.
