Anisible vs Puppet vs pylxd vs incus.
THIS IS VERY MUCH A WORK IN PROGRESS
Moving to incus pretty much broke the cloud.init+ansible pattern I developed when I started working with lxd. On the otherhand these patterns are pretty disfunctional (unusable by others, tempermental, usw)
Get to the point.
Looking at this issue provides the opportunity to move forward by learning from our mistakes, trying new tools and putting them into practice.
Fix the pattern.
(we look at the problem but we're part of the problem)
- Define what we are trying to achieve.
- Update containers in our environment centrally.
- Maintain the best security model.
- for the colo
- for the house lan
- Look at alternative toolsets
- test each of tool sets
- Initialize and update containers with the tools/configurations we want universaly (python3, nano, ssh, usw/ssh-keys,admin user, usw)
- Update the containers
- Impliment the desired outcomes using each of the tools based on the goals above.
- Select the best toolset and patterns and start using them.
