Streamlines deployment with reliable automation and potential for better condition handling
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I have used some of the Ansible libraries for some of the deployments. The way conditions are handled in Ansible, such as skip conditions or failure conditions, can be complex with multiple conditions, but there is support for using them.
Additionally, the automation capabilities streamline deployment processes, providing reliability and reducing manual intervention and errors.
What needs improvement?
More library support for microservices architecture and Kubernetes would be helpful. There is also a need to improve the handling of conditions, which can be tricky and require the use of flags.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Ansible for about six to seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ansible is quite stable. There are infrastructure-wise reliability and fewer issues, although network issues might cause some failures.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Ansible can face scalability issues, such as limitations when trying to scale up infrastructure. It might struggle with connection dropping or spawning additional VMs under certain conditions.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup can be challenging and is not very intuitive. A person needs to be knowledgeable in Ansible, and it should be well documented.
What was our ROI?
The benefits include the maintainability of the existing environment, especially a hybrid infrastructure. Ansible makes scripting and learning processes better and easier.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a pricing associated with Ansible, however, I find it reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Ansible. That said, it depends on the infrastructure and whether an off-premises or on-premises cloud is used.
I would rate Ansible between eight and nine.
