Jeff GeerlingIf IBM decides to merge Terraform and Ansible, would that be Terrible?
Word of Mouth 🍄 
@geerlingguy It should be! But it will probably be Ansiform 🙄
wikiyu@notroot @geerlingguy what you said? ANSI Forum? ;-)
Linh Pham@geerlingguy I wonder if they consider renaming Ansible to EBCDICble?
Dave Disser@qlp ASCII what you did there
Wes Hargrove
Compuguy 🐱@geerlingguy To be fair Hasicorp has already done enough to tarnish themselves. I'm sure IBM can 1+ that *easily*!
IP over Parrots (with QoS)
Mathi Gwithyas@rfc2549 @geerlingguy That really is terrible
Marcos Dione@rfc2549 @geerlingguy We also had a namesaked repo at work, it combined #Ansible and #Terraform (and #LXD; now #incus) to deploy test clusters for our main product. It hit a wall when distributed LXD didn't allow us to mess with the DNS server (#dnsmasq on single host deployments) anymore :(((
Michael Sumner@geerlingguy probably in a "now there's three competing standards" kinda way 😄
Angus McIntyre@geerlingguy Or Anseriform?
Rasmus Lindegaard@geerlingguy or just terrable 😛
拔刀问路--经常截图评论yeah, why not
Marcus Franke@geerlingguy Seen this in reality already. Ansible templates generating terraform code .. Terrible is a sound description
waldi@Comradin @geerlingguy You get that with a language not supporting any control structures.
I generate provider definitions. But at least you can have Terraform code in JSON form.

frustrator?
frustrator?
Pete Wildsmith@geerlingguy good one. Seriously though, IBM owning both Ansible and Terraform seems like a problem. I’ve contacted my local competition authority, will you consider contacting yours?

Kapitän Clownfeuer@geerlingguy That is _already_ its compound name.

gullevek ☢️ 🇯🇵@geerlingguy Dad Joke of the year ... and I feel like it would be ... Terrible.
disky@geerlingguy As a former IBM employee, yes.
Steve Hill@geerlingguy Jeff. Come on. (Actually that just made me snort tea out of my nose)
Mike Hanley@geerlingguy IBM owns Mars
mirabilos@geerlingguy it’s probably already terrible enough, but…

LxWulf@geerlingguy did I missed something?
@lxwulf IBM's buying HashiCorp!
@geerlingguy holy cow! 🙀

Aviva Gary@geerlingguy lol punny 😆
Kit Redgrave@geerlingguy a terrible ansiform
Martin Hamilton@geerlingguy I love it when a plan comes together!

Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle@geerlingguy as someone who reads a lot of sci-fi and does not work with IT, I'm surprised and disappointed IBM used these names for its products
💥meta physical deflationist💥@geerlingguy ansible with native wrappers around terraform providers would cool as fuck
r@geerlingguy pretty sure ansiform is a competitor to whitworth/bsf
BenBE@geerlingguy It wouldn't be Terrible, if there was an ANSI form …

Jupp, it's the so called terrible stack.

Cloud Manul@geerlingguy That was... horrible and painful... well played, Sir, well played! *reaches for the headache pills*
Major Hayden 🤠@geerlingguy Formidable?

Michael Vilain@geerlingguy How would that work? Ansible is procedural and intended for configuration managment. Terraform is declarative intended for orchestration. While you _can_ run scripts, it's not it's Raison d'être. I tried using just Terraform to do both. It wasn't fun.
If they do, they should call the hybrid product Colonoscopy.
std::polar@geerlingguy It already is, but then it would be called that too
Darac Marjal@geerlingguy If they only used Stackoverflow for documentation, would that be SO Terrible?
