Update after a ten year interval: I still don’t like Ansible.

@jmtd I slightly feel that way because a tool that I developed about 15 years ago tended to do deployments on clean machines faster, but we've definitely seen the benefits of using at Adoptium and Node.js :-)

@sxa @jmtd

In quite the opposite, it's no Puppet, but what's there to dislike?

@sxa how many hosts do you use it for? My use-case is one host, which is probably worst-case for a iterating on the config :)

@jbjrkng @sxa today I have mostly been frustrated with: its speed, inscrutable error due to a variable name being shadowed by a reserved magic word; inconsistency between roles which provide tasks you explicitly enumerate in your playbook, and roles which do stuff as soon as you depend on them. Who knows what tomorrow will bring :)

@jmtd @sxa

Speed I can agree with. Mitogen helps a lot, though, I can recommend that.

@jmtd Pretty much everything in https://github.com/adoptium/infrastructure/blob/master/ansible/inventory.yml so "dozens". Deployments generally managed by an AWX server.

@jbjrkng @sxa that looks great!
