Ansible and chef and salt are like SAP. programmed but the wrong crowd. it's so ridiculous that someone thinks it's better to write config files with a dash in front. Jinja is great though

Ansible &c are actually pretty neat, but you got to appreciate they are niche tools, made for onfiguring a cluster of computers (which is beyond tedious to do manually, and doing it with shell scripts is incredibly fragile). I wouldn't touch it if I didn't have at least half a dozen machines to set up. 路 3 years ago

When it comes to infrastructure tools, I find they're like text editors. If it provides value to you, then great! There's no sense building a house with a nerf dart, though, unless you've somehow figured out a way that makes that possible and effective. I've never had good experiences with Chef or Ansible, but terraform (which is admittedly quite a different project, but sometimes used for similar goals), has treated me quite well. It's been the one I stuck with for pretty much one sole reason - it never over-stepped it's scope of being just a CLI tool to run and help you. 路 3 years ago
