@gnuplusmatt Seems like a nice tool for less experienced users. It seems that something like #Puppet or #Ansible would be preferred if you're dealing with more than a handful of servers or simply prefer a #configurationascode approach.

The problem with configuring systems in YAML (or JSON or XML or TOML) is that there's very little of the tooling that you get with most programming languages, like auto-complete and type checking. For this reason alone, I would prefer to configure things in code.

Also, it isn't dynamic enough so you get all the tacked-on parameterization sub-languages or having to use sed to inject values into configuration files. It would all be simpler and easily testable as code.

#ConfigurationAsCode #YAML

Ben voilà, je commence à utiliser #GitLabracadabra et paf.

Bon ben première demande 😜
