<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Since it sounds like you have not had much experience with, I urge you to check it out should you have anything in your environment that could benefit from automation. Simply telling someone to
chunk it and not have any experience with it is a little misguided IMO.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">We pay multiple different teams to play in the ansible, docker, kubernetes et al sandbox so, yeah, I admittedly do *need* to have much experience. My comments are not
an indictment against ansible itself because I observe it being used to create basic servers on a regular basis. It does a fantastic job. Rather I was questioning the use of ansible to specifically deploy DNS servers.<br>
<br>
Since you updated your comments to mention that you all are selling DNS services, the choice of ansible now makes more sense.<br>
<br>
I've worked in the MSP space in the past and my general observation is that it is a sweat shop with no loyalty in a race to the bottom of how low of a salary they can get away with paying. I genuinely hope your experience will be different.<br>
