Used to live a 15 minute walk away with my (now) wife and we would spend every Saturday walking through different routes ending up at The Stag (great pub). Such a wonderful place, really felt like the countryside yet in the city… fond memor

Yes! I know of people that have connected to systems without any traditional shell/unix stuff. You can change the shell (or have none) used if needed using the global `_shell_executable` global arg ( https://docs.pyinfra.com&

I wrote pyinfra so am biased but we used it at my previous company on a fleet of roughly 1.5k physical boxes (including deploys spanning all of them at once) extensively, so it scales to that level well. We had probably 30 groups within tha

> Only downside is I couldn't make it work with my SSH agent, but that might be a problem with Paramiko and not Pyinfra. Interested to hear more about this, might be something that can be added to paramiko (or on top of).

Way back when I started pyinfra my only goal was performance I recall turning a 40 minute ansible run on 500ish hosts into 5 minutes. Big caveat: anecdotal and pretty old information there. It’s been too long since I did perf testing but I

I’ve gone through this process for my email client Kanmail [1]. The third party audit is not required for email clients that run on end users computers and store credentials locally. By the looks of it Pegasus falls into this category and

I actually find it better in recent times! Gmails spam filter has become noticeably worse for me (false positives and false negatives) whilst Fastmails is OK. Doesn’t catch everything but it never puts legit stuff into spam either.

Thank you! So far the project hasn't cost anything directly financial, just my time which I intend to keep putting into the project because I enjoy it :). I use pyinfra day to day and it's great to see others getting use out of it

Does this mean running a VPC in each AZ connected via Transit Gateway is 100% cheaper than a single VPC w/subnets in each AZ?! Regularly see EC2 interzone account for 1/3 of EC2 cost this would be a huge win if so (albeit totally

Fascinating story that highlights the issues with privatised transport systems (or worse: mixed private/public). Reminds me of the clusterfuck that is the British rail network. That said, the Northern and Central tube lines (London) ar

Totally agree, I’ve always insisted myself and/or my team are called “infrastructure”[1], who provide the platform for the rest of engineering to deploy stuff to (devops). But when hiring for this team, have always used devops as the t

Aha, brings back memories. Had to implement SAML login as a Service Provider once - a true abomination of a protocol, will never go near it again, and that was the easier side of things.

SSH can be quicker, I believe ansibles use of SSH processes is more the issue. An old but still relevant benchmark exists in my pyinfra project which uses SSH (amongst other protocols) but a Python implementation, and its significantly quic
