Glad to see all the major BSDs used here; I use OpenBSD whenever it makes sense.

Indeed, most of our public-facing services are hosted on OpenBSD, and all of our routers and firewalls run it. We started managing everything with Ansible to make it easier to ignore what the host OS is for a deployment, and that has worked well both in moving things to [Open,Net]BSD for experiments, and also standing up tests on various Linux distros just to make sure we're not running into a BSD vs. GNU issue, or even a "problem only on this specific distro" issue.

#1 reason we chose Ansible over other tools was support for the BSDs.

It's what I use at home and at work.
