<p>“I’ve been trying to grok Chef these last weeks, and really, I don’t get it. I discovered ansible yesterday at noon, successfully ran it at 1pm, made my first playbook by 2pm, and pushed two small [contributions to the project] before the office closed... Do that with any other config management software!”</p>
<p>“Ansible is much more firewall-friendly. I have a number of hosts that are only accessible via reverse SSH tunnels, and let me tell you getting puppet or chef to play nice with that is a nightmare.”</p>
<p>“This software has really changed my life as an network admin, the simplicity ansible comes with is really childs-play and I really adore its design. No more hassle with SSL keys, DNS based ‘server entries’ (e.g. puppet and what not). Just plain (secure!) SSH keys and one is good to go.”</p>
<p>“You may get a kick out of the fact that I'm using ansible to install puppetmaster(s). I'm starting to migrate all my stuff to the much more sensical ansible. Nice work.”</p>
