Ansible Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ansible simplifies Configuration Management by allowing the execution of tasks from my own machine using a single YAML file for all steps like Config, Install and Deployment. I can easily reuse the same file multiple times in different environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ansible uses push methodology, which does not scale well. Also, the playbooks can become very long in a complex project with a lot of plays used for repetitive configurations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ansible is more reliable as configuration tasks can be automated, resulting in less manual effort and less likelihood of making errors. Agentless allows the servers to be managed remotely.

boto 2 doesn't support ec2_create module had to uninstall and install standard
It doesn't come with boto3 and boto2 has problems. Needs an update. Especially if you are going to charge.
When using the following package: tklbam-python-boto for boto2 which comes with the AMI the ec2 module with the create action failed with the following error
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ProfileNotFoundError'
Had to replace it with:
python-boto
I know this is supposed to be optimized for security etc but if the most obvious module doesn't work because the instance_profile_name input is set (see ansible docs for details) then what's the point.
