    Ansible Review

    What do you like best about the product?
    Ansible streamlines configuration management by enabling task execution from my own machine using a single YAML file for various steps such as configuration, installation, and deployment. This file can be effortlessly reused across different environments.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Ansible employs a push methodology, which doesn't scale efficiently. Additionally, in complex projects with numerous repetitive configurations, the playbooks can become quite lengthy.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Ansible is more reliable because it automates configuration tasks, reducing manual effort and minimizing the risk of errors. Being agentless, it allows servers to be managed remotely.

    boto 2 doesn't support ec2_create module had to uninstall and install standard

    Review from a verified AWS customer

    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.
