No, I know what Ansible is, thanks. I've written and maintained Ansible playbooks. I respect myself, my team, and my customers and deploy statelessly with NixOS. My life is significantly easier than it was in the salt/Ansible days and there's no amount of money worth those headaches.

Really, my head is already starting to hurt. I KNOW.

I'm sorry but there's no fucking good reason to templatize k8s yaml into Jinja/Ansible. Just hell no. Just more Ansible Things that look like a solution because folks don't actually know k8s.

This whole thing is based on a perceived false dichotomy of Ansible/K8s

I'm not saying using Ansible for K8s is necessarily a good idea, just that laughing because it's mentioned in the same neighborhood is hardly reasonable

I'd gladly use it for node-level tasks, for example - in the cluster I'd be less excited.

Custom facts are neat. The module library is neat. Possibilities are too, dismissive nature isn't
