I've been using ansible for complex build environment setup. Inline documentation. Can Factor in software dependencies or environmental setup as required.
It's working pretty well so far. It wasn't an intensional thing. I had a fairly complex stack for a particular project that I needed to share.
- maxerickson 13y agoI was looking at Ansible in the context of this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7487202 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7487202 exactly because I like the idea of capturing the setup (compared to a more haphazard approach). My initial reaction was that for the computer setup use case, it did too much to hide away complexity. I guess I don't have a deeper point, but I wonder if it is overkill for capturing simple workflow like is discussed here.
