The document introduces Mico, a tool that allows sysadmins to programmatically deploy and manage systems using Python. It aims to change the sysadmin paradigm by treating cloud and operating systems as programmable APIs. Mico improves upon existing automation options like Puppet and Chef by providing better cloud integration and allowing systems to be treated as code. Templates written in Python can be used to deploy systems across cloud providers using Mico's libraries. The tool is still in beta but aims to make system deployment and configuration easier through a Python-based approach.
