SaltStack VS Ansible

It's definitely some sort of AI script. Not this exactly, but something working off Python or scripts of thar nature. https://github.com/saltstack/salt

repo: 'https://repo.saltproject.io'

Otherwise, in addition to ansible-core, there's other config management projects written in python like salt or fabric that you could perhaps draw inspiration from.

Reference: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/57121.

This month, we announced the long-awaited launch of Idem, an open source tool that simplifies cloud-management automation by reducing configuration to data (instead of code) — making it easier to maintain, discover, and use. Idem is a complement to the open source project Salt (created by SaltStack, which VMware acquired in October of 2020). While Salt was built to automate the process of systems configuration (such as databases and applications running inside virtual machines), Idem automates cloud configuration, settings, user management, and resource creation. If you’ve used Salt, you’ll find Idem familiar and easy to navigate. Together, Idem and Salt form a full automation solution.

Source kinda indicates that it needs to be set too: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/pillar/gpg.py

hehe i didnt want to put `between 1 and` because of the salt fiasco https://github.com/saltstack/salt/commit/5dd304276ba5745ec21...

Possibly look at Ansible or SDM

Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Use tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation to provision and manage your infrastructure. By using IaC, you can ensure that your API infrastructure is secure from the start and that security policies are enforced consistently.

Ansible-Core ↗ ⚡️

Is it okay to have the documentation in a separate YAML file, as they do in the core filter plugins? Or is it a more modern approach to include it inside the .py file?

More than two years ago the Ansible Docs Working Group started discussing the use of semantic markup for Ansible plugin/module documentation. This resulted in a specification that has been implemented as proofs of concept both for ansible-doc and the validate-modules sanity test, as well as for antsibull-docs. From the docs perspective this will improve plugin, module, and now also role documentation a lot, and in particular separate markup from content. (Right now you have to use C(...) and I(...) for values and option names, which stand for 'code-style' and 'italics'.)

Think the user base for this kind of service is impossibly small? Syncthing has close to 50,000 stars on Github. Ansible, the industry standard automation toolkit, has ~56k stars.

More devs need to know the joy that is Ansible.
