Like

Agentless Architecture Readable and Reusable Playbooks Strong Integration Capabilities

Like

What I really like about about it is that it makes frontend development easier. It helped me to do my job better by taking care of repetitive tasks and technical stuff behind the scenes. So that I can focus on creating great frontend experiences with getting stuck.

Like

agentless and simple by design and extensive ecosystem and integrations

Dislike

Limited Native UI Capabilities Performance with Large Inventories Debugging

Dislike

It could me more user friendly, provide simpler tools for developing and managing automation tasks, be easier to understand and work better with windows. For Frontend developers like me, Ansible will be easier to use and more useful if this changes were made.

Dislike

Small teams can get overwhelmed by the platform's capabilities, and larger enterprises need to invest in significant training.

    Integration is quite easy and a broad variety of modules is available to help you complete your workflows. Writing playbooks in YAML is easy but you can also easily introduce errors because of a extra or missing space.
