>How does Puppet compare to Ansible? http://ansible.cc/ Thanks for sharing, first I'd heard of it... >From a quick glance (in a rush atm), it seems ansible uses SSH and PUSH whereas cfengine/puppet use TLS/SSL and PULL. In general, scaling is easier with non-SSH approaches built around PULL. That said, Puppet is not scalable out of the box (unlike cfengine's server, though you still need to tune several knobs there) -- but it's not intended to be, a common mis-conception. The bulit-in webrick server is for development only, and building the more scalable web services infrastructure (apache, passenger) is not as difficult as it first seems. Many folks also run without a puppetmaster (masterless/nodeless). It'd been awhile since I'd checked, but I see ansible is not listed here (in case others haven't seen the master table): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_configuration_manage ment_software I highly advise anyone new to configuraton management to setup some virtual machines and play with as many solutions as time permits...they each have interesting features, and no one solution will work for everyone IMHO. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
