Spent more than two hours yesterday dealing with an incident at work. A password expired earlier than expected and the notes in the runbook were too vague for us to confidently fix it in a hurry. We ultimately needed some reverse engineering to figure out the process to rotate it.

This morning, during our standup, I wrote an ansible playbook that can thread the new password though the system and restart all affected services.

Is automation better than documentation? Well... We still need to document that automation so I'd say they both go hand-in-hand

Managing via is a breeze. I just love the fact that all the settings, all the rules, all the good stuff is configured with config files.

Ki is a petty thief. Her best friend wills her his solo-flyer--call it a space …

"That's a girl," Ki sent via ansible, the text somehow conveying her smug tone. "l knew you'd take the Leap."

Now, I mostly read queer genre fiction, but I run into ansibles surprisingly often. I wonder if they are as common in straight sci fi.

Le Guin made her mark regardless.

Creating & joining a cluster with has never been easier than it is now with my new Ansible module!

My new Ansible module "proxmox_cluster" just made its way into the upstream Ansible Community Proxmox collection and can now be used with Ansible Galaxy.

With my additional toolings, we install Proxmox VE nodes in a fully automated way (even with my new cloud images), create clusters with proxmox_cluster module and load balance the guest VMs with my ProxLB tool.
