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!

    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.

    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.

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