Ansible could do this pretty easily, no?
- alex3305 4y agoYes, with Ansible you would be able to set this up. But with Kubernetes it is basically free. Kubernetes will manage your workloads and if you set up your health checks correctly it will do this for you. Kubernetes is designed for such tasks. However. I would rather comfortably recommend Ansible for a home lab, but not Kubernetes. For something like that it is too complex with too many abstraction layers and too many caveats.
- pas 4y agothe real "killer app" of "workload orchestration" is the active control loops, configured (somewhat naturally) declaratively. Ansible and other configuration managers and provisioning tools - as far as I know - had no way to do this. (they had policy conformance checks and whatnot, but fundamentally they did not make it easy to get to the desired good state, they ran on-demand and had to rely on ad-hoc information gathering, which made them slooooow and brittle)
