[LRUG] Idempotency vs the cloud

[David Burrows]

I think part of my similar fear of Chef/Puppet is that it's overkill for a
lot of things I want to do, but I still want more than a bash script.

Ansible [0] seems to be a better fit for small-to-medium size setups,
although I've yet to use it in anger, anyone have any production experience
of it?
