The infrastructure of automation solutions comes with specific challenges, but it also shares a common body of knowledge with regular, non-specialized enterprise infrastructure. Infrastructure Engineers looking to develop as Automation Infrastructure Engineers need consistent prior experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining software infrastructures, proficiency in installing Windows server, configuring it, and managing files, permissions, devices, backups and applications. On top of this, they need to grasp networking concepts, administrate SQL servers, manage virtual machines, and manage users and machines with Active Directory.
