Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: A new open-source automation tool as an alternative to Ansible/Salt
There is https://pyinfra.com/
As a sidenote, I also made a small experiment a while ago : https://github.com/linkdd/tricorder/
But it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. Without users, I don't know how it should be used, without features I won't get any users. So for now, it's in a state of "I'll address bug reports and feature requests, but I won't actively develop it".

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
I like https://github.com/pyinfra-dev/pyinfra. "pyinfra automates infrastructure using Python"
Only played with it for a little but it seems well designed an simpler alternative to ansible, chef and other such things.

Interesting Uses of Ansible's ternary filter
Haven't used it in anger yet, but I have high hopes for PyInfra: https://github.com/pyinfra-dev/pyinfra

How to manage multiple Wagtail sites from central point
pyinfra - https://pyinfra.com/ - Pyinfra is simpler for me than Ansible. I completed the entire deployment in one afternoon, from installing and configuring the VPS server from scratch to deploying the application and automatically restoring the database from a backup.

How do you guys handle server automation?
I’ve replaced Ansible with PyInfra where ever possible. https://pyinfra.com/ is very clean, and fast but lacks the shear amount of automation that can be found with Ansible.

What Ansible is capable to do that Python doesn't?
Some folks don't like YAML all that well, and I can understand where they are coming from. I wish Ansible provided a good Python API so that playbooks could be written in Python easier. But there is a project called PyInfra that is trying to do something similiar to Ansible, using Python as the configuration language. https://pyinfra.com/ It is still pretty new so not got nearly as many modules written for it yet.

Ansible 4.0.0 final has been released
It's hard to say. I don't see too much point in running Ansible inside Terraform or Terraform inside Ansible (yes, you can go either way). Ansible lagged for years on its support of kubernetes and helm (it had it, but it didn't work). Now (like in the last 12 months) got good support for both, but it might be too late. Terraform has the majority of mind share when it comes to Kubernetes support.
If you're only doing AWS or Google Cloud, Ansible can do that. Whether it does it better or worse than Terraform is all dependent on your use case.
If you're doing anything on premise, or outside of GCP/AWS, Ansible can do that as well. From the using OOB management (HP iLO/Dell iDRAC) to install the OS, to configuring vmware clusters to deploying k8s to declaring resources within k8s. Got network switches and firewalls at your office? You can manage that with Ansible. If you have a bunch of edge compute, Ansible can manage that as well.
What it comes down to is if you've got teams working with anything outside of AWS/GCP. They'll probably be using Ansible, and since you've already go Ansible knowledge across your organization, it would make sense to leverage that expertise and Ansible's cloud integrations.
All of that said - Terraform is much more popular when it comes to the major cloud platforms. If all you have is cloud, then you'll probably start with Terraform and stay there.

Ansible for Kubernetes
I would like to use Ansible only for deployment. This is save to use it https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.kubernetes right?
