I love Ansible. I recently re-wrote the infrastructure setup of a startup. They had a Chef infra-as-code before, written for CentOS 7. Since CentOS is dead, and I took the opportunity to move to Debian, it wasn't worth it to keep working with Chef so I re-wrote in Ansible. And it was fantastic. Maybe because Chef is so awful and convoluted my reference point is skewed. But I loved every moment. It was simple, the documentation is great, the extended packaged are great (I set up an highly available redis sentinel infra with one ansible-galaxy import and ~20 lines playbook). Yeah, Kubernetes and Docker are the cool kids. But Ansible is killing it if you still live in a world of VMs.
