I would not say these are friendly to non-technical users.

Hell, I wouldn't call Jenkins friendly to technical users.

Agree! The end users of the tools created on Onu are typically non-technical, while jenkins, rundeck, etc seem to prioritize very technical users. Our goal is to make running the scripts from the Onu platform as approachable and friendly as possible for the non-technical folks on your team.

So you are targeting non-technical people and then asking them to write code?

No, sorry that was unclear! Developers write the code that creates the tools on Onu and then non-technical teams use the tools that the devs create.

Yet this is in your original post?

So what exactly are you solving for?

Not who you are asking, but "fielding requests" needn't only be writing the script but could also be running it because the end user isn't comfortable with the command line. With a more friendly UI around the script, the end user can be provided the link to a webpage and they can run it themselves.
