I love Ansible, but I'm waiting for the day that reproducible builds are part of most distributions. Nix is paving the way, and it seems like the rest are following. Then maybe the need for these configuration management tools will lessen. Look here for more info: https://reproducible-builds.org/ https://reproducible-builds.org/
One of the useful parts of Ansible was its windows modules. I know that Microsoft has made DSC (Desired State Configuration) to handle config management in a declarative way, but haven't tried it out.
- topspin 6y agoAlthough I don't 'love' Ansible I use it nearly daily and have written thousands of lines of Ansible YAML. It suits, but yes, I share your view; this stuff should be unnecessary. Docker as well. Docker is a fairly precise proxy for the inadequacies of Linux; all it's really doing is papering over the missing, badly needed parts of the OS.
