15 minutes to configure a local VM for development with Ansible? That feels very off. It used to take me about that long to set up a Kubernetes cluster on remote VMs from scratch (with etcd, load balancing, etc.). I haven't used it for a while though.
- mtlynch 3y agoThis a bit like saying a 15-minute commute sounds "very off" because it only takes you 10 minutes to drive to your office. Ansible run times are going to vary wildly depending on what's in your playbooks and how fast your nodes are. In my case, a lot of my VMs share a set of common roles I've been developing over 8 years of using Ansible. The roles span several different OSes and versions, and every play adds time to the run, even if Ansible just skips it or has no action to take. And then third-party roles from Ansible Galaxy typically take even longer to run because they're not optimized for speed either, and they're targeting an even larger set of possible OSes.
