I am leaning Ansible but it's close. Looking for peoples opinions.
So far I prefer Ansible's serverless design doing everything over ssh with keys. I tries salt-ssh but it's quite rudimentary in comparison. If salt-ssh let me use pillars data instead of a roster file to access servers it would be a lot more useful. Having to create a separate roster file which is no where near as full featured as Ansibles inventory file makes salt-ssh a non-starter. Ansible is slower than using a salt minion agent but I don't think that will be an issue for me. I have a problem with Ansibles messy directory/file structure though. Stuff is kind of all over the place. Seems like a lot of things have been bolted on and it shows. Salt seems more streamlined in that respect. Also appears that Salt has a more logical and consistent syntax for sls files. I think it is more powerful how it uses Jinja and the ability to write more programming oriented scripts although not sure if I will every need that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
