100%. We used to design the pipeline a way that is easily reproducible locally, e.g. doesn’t rely on plugins of the CI runtime. Think build.sh shell script, normally invoked by CI runner but just as easy to run locally.
My automation is always an escalation of a run book that has gotten very precise and handles corner cases.
Even if I get the idea of an automation before there’s a run book for it.
