Interesting Uses of Ansible's ternary filter
They support for-if from python, too: https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/templates/#loop-f... but I haven't tried the "recursive" keyword to know if ansible supports that. I say "ansible supports that" because they don't just drop jinja2 into ansible and call it a draw, they have a bunch of custom execution integrations: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.16.3/lib/ansible/...

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
To manage a VM, you can use something as simple as just manual actions over SSH, or can use tools like Ansible, Hashicorp's Packer and Terraform or other automations. For an app where there is minimal load and security/reliability concern, VMs are still a great option that provide a lot of value for the buck

A Journey to Find an Ultimate Development Environment
In this article's context, it is simply a tool that provides a declarative way to automate your machine/OS to configure the development machine as you want (install package, modify the configuration, etc). Examples of these tools are Ansible, Puppet, etc.

The Director of "Toy Story" Also Drew the BSD Daemon Logo
Now we're getting more tangential, but for years, Ansible releases were named for Van Halen songs (see old Changelog here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v1.8.4/CHANGELOG.md)

Running stateful workloads on Kubernetes with Rook Ceph
In the lab to follow, we'll quickly provision a 3-node kubeadm cluster (1 master, 2 workers) on the cloud provider of your choice using an automation stack comprised of OpenTofu and Ansible, then deploy Rook Ceph using the official Helm charts and confirm that we are now able to successfully create CSI volume snapshots from PVCs by reusing the MinIO example from our last article.

How to perform this when statement (invalid YAML)
The lookup works fine when parsed as say a msg and braced in "{{ }}" but we're told not to use jinja delimiters in when statements (no idea on the whys to that to be honest) - The issue lies around the first ": " and yaml sees that everything preceding this being a mapping... I have tried all manner of fixes described in YAML syntax error when string contains a colon + space · Issue #2769 · ansible/ansible (github.com) but no dice... the error is a variety of 'The error was: template error while templating string' type errors depending on what attempted fix I'm applying..

uyuni – open-source configuration and infrastructure management
IBM -> RedHat -> Ansible (https://docs.ansible.com/platform.html)
I think the new ansible docs are opaque, and the new "everything is an ansible collection" scheme makes troubleshooting any issues reported by users hundreds of times harder than "the old days"
I keep this (https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data/blob...) bookmarked because it's the only way to match up what "ansible 8.1.0" (https://pypi.org/project/ansible/8.1.0/) even means since it for damn sure not any of this: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/releases (they used to have a 'release' pinned on that releases tab saying "these are not the droids you are looking for"). I believe I tried asking for them to update the completely erroneous pypi "source code" link to point to that repo and ... well, one can see how well that turned out

Salt Exporter: the story behind the tool
In the new style, when the tag is longer than 20 characters, an end of tag string is appended to the tag given by the string constant TAGEND, that is, two line feeds '\n\n'. When the tag is less than 20 characters then the tag is padded with pipes "|" out to 20 characters as before. When the tag is exactly 20 characters no padded is done. source: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/utils/event.py

Probably asked before, but any opinions on Ansible against Salt
One thing that really irks me about Salt, though, is that they are very slow to fix bugs. My Salt states are littered with workarounds for bugs that have been open for multiple years. Even in basic things, like ssh authorized_keys management. Other than bug velocity, though, I've been pretty pleased with Salt.
