Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Quick, do another one but with Terraform.

    Terraform talks to "clouds", where as Ansible talks to devices. Whilst clouds do have many devices, I feel like Ansible has a greater ability to absorb likeness/distinctiveness (ships), over a greater scale than terraform.

    Terraform isn't limited to clouds. We use it for our onprem kit.

    Wait how? What do you use? I think I've seen a Terraform connector for Kubernetes but that's about it

    I don't use Terraform but from my understanding Terraform is more for "what kind of server hardware/VM/container/... do I want" and less "which configuration do I want on that server/VM/container/..."

    Which kinda sounds like the Borg.

    Do we want a drone, an operative, or whatever 7 of 9 is.

    afaik, terraform does not allow you to manage the state of an OS. Think managing motd file or ensuring certain packages are installed.

    You might like to try out pulumi.
