Maybe someone will finally offer a managed Ansible Tower service. I'm always surprised that Red Hat hasn't to date. Between managed git and CI with deployment to AWS, I have no desire to babysit, backup and patch a snowflake Tower instance.
- perlgeek 9y agoRed Hat mostly caters to large businesses, many of which still want most of their stuff on premise. Putting just the Ansible things in the cloud would be an undue security risk (if your mindset is that on-prem is more secure). And if you do use a cloud provider, you likely want to run Ansible in the same cloud, just for performance reasons.
- ghjm 9y agoOut of curiosity, would you be concerned with giving a managed service vendor all the passwords to everything in your infrastructure?
- rmenr 9y agoYes. I would. Which is why I love the idea of having AWX to run within my own infra, in the way that I'd want to run it. Arrogant as it may sound, I'd much prefer to take ownership of that, personally. I'd be happy to self-host it and take the operational pains that come with it, and sleep (at least slightly more happily at night) knowing that I'm managing my secrets myself.
