In certain shops that may be true, but definitely not all. 
Python has had a large role in Red Hat&#x27;s tools for a very long time so I bet you&#x27;ll find more Python than Ruby in sysadmin-land overall.<p>If you aren&#x27;t using Rails for your web-stack, I suspect you might not be using any Ruby at all on a server. It isn&#x27;t even part of the CentOS minimal install. Python is. I&#x27;m not sure about how Ruby is used in Ubuntu, maybe it&#x27;s more common there.<p>However, language choice alone makes Ansible more &quot;compatible&quot; with the rest of the RHEL stack.
