The pain of Ansible+Jinja2 is what eventually pushed me to write judo[1]... It works surprisingly well for what it was built for, but of course has limitations (e.g. there's no direct support for a templating language; you just plug env variables into a script). The idea is, do less, and allow other tools to fill the gaps. There's still a lot on my todo list, like env files, controlling parallelism, canaries/batches, etc. I'm currently doing these things using hacky shell scripts, which I don't like, so I'd prefer moving that into the main binary. But I still prefer it as-is over Ansible. [1]: https://github.com/rollcat/judo https://github.com/rollcat/judo
