I'm ops, but the cool thing about ansible is that it is easy to get devs to help. They know their software packages, I don't, but I can point them at a playbook and they can fairly easily fill out the basics, I can work on the orchestration after they have done the initial playbook design and testing. Chef (and formerly Puppet) had (for us) a much higher barrier to entry when it comes to getting an unfamiliar dev on board. We basically had to get reqs from the dev, and then we would build the recipes.
