Can anyone discuss their experience with Ansible versus Chef + knife-solo?
I found Chef clumsy and hard to set up on its own (its central server requirement seems like it was designed just to support a business model), but with knife-solo it's extremely usable.
- dalore 13y agoI've used both, it's similar but a main difference is that you kick ansible off from another (say your dev machine) which then ssh's in and does it's stuff, whilst knife-solo starts from the host.
- pjungwir 13y ago> knife-solo starts from the host. Huh? You run `knife solo cook example.com` on your local machine. It then sshs in and runs what it needs to. (Granted, it runs everything via chef-solo, but the user experience is running a command locally.)
- dalore 13y agoOh I used it where the host boots up and then it it runs solo on the local machine. So in your example it's similar.
