I am a developer, who also dealt with ops in a small business context. I agree with Ansible striking a good balance between prior experience and the future of automating server configuration.

I did a write-up on how I used it on my blog: [link redacted]

The workflow worked really well, provisioning Vagrant servers in staging and Digital Ocean droplets in production.

Thanks, I appreciated this blog post - I've struggled to get started with Ansible before, and this was just what I needed!
Nice write up. Good job, mate.

I moved away from Vagrant in favour of Terraform, but I agree Vagrant still holds its own and is a great choice (HashiCorp really nailed it, eh?)
