Not sure if this relates but I was wondering if you heard of ASCI ActiveBatch? If so what are your thoughts on it?
I'd like to have some easy to set up orchestration/job scheduling engine in my team so we can help clean up the tangled mess that we are in but something like Ansible seems like too much work to setup and add more jobs over time. I tried Activebatch and I wish there was some free or cheap alternative of it.
- freeqaz 6y agoI hadn't heard of it before. Thanks for sharing! What are the types of problems you're hoping to untangle, more specifically? I assume you want something like... A workflow where each step maps to some provisioning process? If that guess is reasonably true, then I immediately think of Terraform. You can specify dependencies and write hooks that trigger callbacks when certain steps are called. We use Terraform a bunch under-the-hood for Refinery, and it's great. I haven't used Ansible (only read about it) so I can't contrast them very well. If you want to chat some more, I'd be curious to hear more about what you're trying to build and see if there is a way we could collaborate. Or if I can offer any recommendations for software that I know of. My email is free at refinery.io :)
