I would like to have a mechanism to set up a server automagically…

Similarly I would like to set up my user account settings (Tmux plugins, .zshrc and vim settings, etc) that I can replicate in multiple machines via a script (I have a custom script for this but I want a more solid alternative)

Thoughts on what infra-as-code solution would work best? Any similar experiences or use cases with one Thanks!

    Ehhh… as someone who does devops, you should dive into ansible core changelogs on github sometime ;)

      I assume you mean to check on his often they’re is the breaking changes? :)

      Declarative style isn’t perfect, but it’s a massive improvement from straight bash scripting.

        💯

        We’re an ansible shop and yeah it’s better than bash scripting (where it makes sense) but ansible… man it does have some peculiarities :/
