[ovirt-users] Re: AutoStart VMs (was Re: Re: oVirt 4.4.0 Release is now generally available)
Hi Derek,
I also don't like Python (and I prefer Salt instead of Ansible), but Ansible is
the wiser option /personal opinion/ .
My reasons - API change , so your code will eventually will die.
With Ansible - a lot of people use it and there is a high chance that some updates
the Ansible module that will do the job even after the API changes.
Also, Ansible is declarative , while python will need more effort.
Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
