During the last weeks I played around with salt-stack.
Salt reminds me of the programming language “prolog” we learned at university. Yes, I can think that way.
But I am unsure if I want to think that way.
My brains somehow prefers the step1, step2, step3 … approach. Defining a big
net of dependencies might be academically correct way. But on the other hand
I am a human, and prefer the easy way (not because I am lazy, but because
I think if you loose the joy, then I won’t get the things done).
Is there anyone using ansible who has worked with salt, too?
What do you think?
Is ansible more “easy”?
My background: I use linux servers since 1996 and do programming (first C, then Python) since years.
… but I am new to configuration management.
