Why did you choose to roll your own modules rather than do what's described in the comment you replied to, i.e. provide a Python layer for interacting with the rich set of available Ansible modules?
Not trying to be rude ofc, I'm sure you considered it and have a good reason – just curious as of what it is. An incredible project you put there, nonetheless:)
Not rude at all :) When I first started (not sure if this is still the case?) Ansible would push Python code to the target machine and execute there, meaning it wasn’t actually agentless. I always thought of pyinfra as copying what a human would do if configuring a server by hand over SSH, so new modules that use only shell commands were needed.
I recall the Ansible Python API to be labeled as Interal Use Only and subject to change on a whim because of that. That at least discouraged using ansible in that way.
Seems they still kinda discourage it but do have examples at least.
