Overall Satisfaction with Ansible
Ansible is currently being used by our integration and infrastructure team. It is used across the whole project. Ansible is being used as a rapid deployment solution. It is being utilized as a tool to speed up the deployment of our system and make the deployment as turn key as possible.
- Easy to learn programming. It just utilizes YAML which is easy to learn and doesn't take as much time to pick up.
- Fast deployment. If you are allowed to use SSH in your architecture, it is a very fast deployment.
- Repeatability, you can deploy a node many times and get the same result each time.
- Ansible currently doesn't have a way to keep a node in a current state like what puppet or DSC can do.
- Ansible uses SSH which sometimes is not a good security practice.
- You have to be good to set up system totally with secure SSH keys, Sudo, etc.
- Easy to deploy.
- Ansible is free.
- Helps users deploy clusters.
