I'm considering using Ansible (from Debian packages) for maintaining
multiple remote Debian servers. The master server will be my Debian laptop.
I have three questions:
1. If you have experience with Debian ansible, are you or were you
satisfied with the experience?
I can only answer this question: I use Ansible regularly, and I am
satisfied because it works :-) and the setup is really easy compared to
what I understood from other tools (did'nt know Rex). Push mode also
seems the way to go if your laptop needs to be the "master" (I suppose
that in pull-mode your servers will complain they can't find your laptop
when it is online). Another interesting thing: learning Ansible is
useful to manage Linux boxes, but also Windows hosts, switches…
2. There are many published books in print about Ansible. Can you
recommend one for an experienced sysadmin who is an Ansible newbie?
3. If you don't recommend Ansible, can you recommend any other similar
system?
Thanks.
