  • pyinfra

    pyinfra automates infrastructure using Python. It’s fast and scales from one server to thousands. Great for ad-hoc command execution, service deployment, configuration management and more.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • One needs to lookout for their config file being overwritten [1] if another ansible.cfg exist. In my case my ~/.ansible.cfg config got overwritten by a local ./ansible.cfg (as per the order the config files are read [2]) in a project directory.

    In my case I workaround it by _merging_ all potential config files into one at runtime using `crudini` as demonstrated by rsguhr [3].
