On a basic level, shell scripts to do the basic config work in a pinch. But if you can learn the basics of Ansible, setting up a new VM can take just a few minutes and not be painful at all. It's quicker for me to add a new VM and apply a few Ansible roles I've written for a new client site/app than to log into some shared hosting provider and click through their UI to do the same.
- voltagex_ 11y agoHave you got any hints on learning Ansible? I've tried but I find YAML quite tedious to write - I'm more likely to reach for shell scripts. I'd also like to integrate it with https://github.com/voltagex/junkcode/blob/master/Python/spotprices/spotprices.py https://github.com/voltagex/junkcode/blob/master/Python/spot... so I can do "least cost provisioning"
