Decided to deploy Infisical with `pyinfra`(not using Ansible because of Yaml hell).

`pyinfra` is faster. :)

Since we can use `uv` easily nowadays, the whole venv setup also becomes much simpler.

Good stuff.

#ansible #pyinfra #yaml #infisical

@diazona @markstos ok, let me put it this other way: if you know of a good talk abut #PyInfra, please share the link :)

#Python

@diazona I see the tagline for #PyInfra is "Think ansible but Python instead of YAML, and up to 10x faster."

Sounds nice, though I imagine it has much smaller ecosystem of pre-build idempotent roles and lookup modules than #Ansible does

@markstos heh, yeah 😂 #Pulumi doesn't do that. I do use it exclusively for creating cloud resources, or occasionally things of a similar nature like Docker containers running on a host which had the Docker runtime installed and configured separately.

In order to get things installed on the servers after I provision them, I've historically mostly used shell scripts, although for new stuff I'm transitioning to cloud-init. Or in some cases I might separately (manually) prepare an image containing everything I want to wind up on the new server and use that.

For management of existing infrastructure I've been using #Pyinfra, which I like, although it doesn't have the wealth of predefined tasks/roles/playbooks that Ansible does. Someday I would like to integrate Pyinfra into my Pulumi usage.
