What is the advantage of SaltStack over other Devops tool?
Salt allows parallel execution of multiple commands encrypted via AES and offers both vertical and horizontal scaling. A single master can manage multiple masters, and the peer interface allows users to control multiple agents (minions) directly.
Why Ansible is better than Chef and Puppet?
When it comes to ease of setup and installation, Ansible dominates the other two tools as it has ‘agentless’ architecture. Chef and Puppet follow master-agent or master-slave architecture.
What kind of tool is Ansible?
Ansible is an open-source software provisioning, configuration management, and application-deployment tool enabling infrastructure as code. It runs on many Unix-like systems, and can configure both Unix-like systems as well as Microsoft Windows. It includes its own declarative language to describe system configuration.
Is Ansible like Puppet?
In very, very, short, there are some differences between Ansible and Puppet. However, Puppet is more of a configuration management tool, whereas Ansible is more of a provisioning, configuration and deployment tool.
Which is better Puppet or Ansible?
Many use Ansible for small, fast and/or temporary deployments, whereas Puppet is often used for more complex or longer-term deployments. If you have a mostly fixed set of machines to maintain, Puppet might be the better option, whereas if your machines are often being reprovisioned, Ansible might be the way to go.
What is difference between Ansible and Puppet and Chef?
Ansible is written in Python supported with YAML scripts. Puppet is written in Ruby that supports Domain Specific Language with Ruby. The chef is written in Ruby with DSL and has prototype programming. There is only one active node for its configuration, whereas Puppet and Chef follow master-slave architecture.
What is the difference between Puppet Forge and Ansible?
Both tools are highly scalable, meaning they can handle a big increase in nodes with no problem. However, scalability is generally considered to be easier in Ansible. Puppet Forge is Puppet’s repository/library; Ansible is called Ansible Galaxy.
What is the difference between anansible and puppet?
Ansible has a secondary node in case the active node fails, and Puppet has more than one master in case the original master fails. Both tools are highly scalable, meaning they can handle a big increase in nodes with no problem.
Is Ansible easy to use?
Since Python is built into most Unix and Linux systems, getting Ansible up and running can be done fairly quickly, and its agentless nature adds to the ease of setup and use. Also, the CLI accepts commands in almost any language, which is a big benefit.
What are the pros and cons of Puppet Enterprise?
A commercial version, Puppet Enterprise, is available through PuppetLabs as well, and it includes professional support, but some users complain that PuppetLabs is too aggressive in pushing companies to buy it. Some users also say that Puppet is slow to adopt requested changes, such as adding new features and fixing bugs.
