No, Ansible is not good for this. It's good for maintaining clusters of hosts, but its stateless nature makes it close to worthless for infrastructure.

- aprdm 6y agoWell I guess I beg to differ. Been creating and managing 10ks of hosts across multiple on prems datacenters and clouds for some time now.
- darthrupert 6y agoPerhaps we have a different view of what infrastructure means? Managing hosts isn't it by my view.
- aprdm 6y agoPossibly! Care to share your view?
- apple4ever 6y agoHow do you deal with this with Ansible instead of Terraform? I'd love to have a single tool, but Ansible's style seems like a poor fit especially compared to Terraform.
