Support #21890
Updated by Peter Amstutz 2 months ago
We are considering migrating from our current stack (terraform + installer.sh + provision.sh + salt) to an Ansible playbook that handles everything (cloud provisioning + software installation + configuration). The reasons for this are:
* fewer tools to learn / less complexity / eliminating shell script glue
* more robust ecosystem and long term support (salt and terraform are both in stormy waters due to churn at their main sponsors)
As a first step, we should make a detailed list of all the things that the current stack is responsible for, so that we can ensure that a new installer covers them all.
