Everyone wants one tool to do everything. If you need Ansible because your non-Nexus Cisco gear has no chef/puppet agent, why not just make the switch everywhere? Yeah, you and I think that's a dumb reason, but people do things for (or in spite of) dumb reasons all the time. Short of spending all their time getting agents for every networking device out there, I don't think there's much you can do to stop these kinds of migrations. And do you really want to appeal to people who enjoy ssh for loops? The best you can hope for is some synergy, which seems to happen when people actually understand what their different tools are good for - Puppet for CM and Ansible to Orchestrate it. > Look, reach out to them.

What other sites do you think are important and underserved? Rob Nelson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
