Do we really need automation?

In this talk, we will consider how to evaluate the investment attractiveness of projects to automate something using the example of MLOps implementation (although, in principle, this way of modelling is suitable for almost any DevOps activity). 

We will discuss what the revenue and expense sides are, how to get these figures, and, most importantly, what to do with them afterwards. 

The talk looks like a product talk, but it is not quite so - firstly, the task of gathering the requirements needed for such calculations often lies on the analyst, and secondly - for infrastructure projects the analyst may well be the person who will make the decision when justifying a particular technical solution.
