"One person's Ansible is another's pyinfra." - Daryl Tester (PyCon AU 2023)

(Daryl Tester) Have you ever sat there while writing an Ansible playbook and thought to yourself "Gee, I know how to express what I want in in a programming language, such as Python, but this Domain Specific Language bolted on top of Jinja layered on top of YAML is sure getting me down", then this may be the talk for you. Welcome to pyinfra, where your inventories and playbooks look remarkably like Python code, mainly because they are (with some clarification around the "mainly").
In this talk, the presenter (hi!) will show the conversion of one of their Ansible playbooks to pyinfra. Along the way he will show how relatively straightforward it is to write facts and operations (a cornerstone of most orchestration tools) under pyinfra.
