I would try to use Java to manage / generate necessary Linux boot scripts. Use Java to manage Linux servers etc.


Feel free. We won't.

There are multiple reasons, but the big one is there is almost no overlap between the engineering team's reason for existing (writing and maintaining line-of-business applications) and ours (keep systems up, compliant, performant and safe).

But if it makes you happier, one tool we use is Puppet. That runs in JRuby in a JVM to execute their own weird DSL. So to use it in a nontrivial environment, you need to be able to tune Java and write both Ruby and Puppetese.
