Actually I think it&#x27;s more the YAML config files than the fact it&#x27;s written in Python.  I learned 80% of Ansible in probably 10 days of writing playbooks and going through the infrastructure at my new job.<p>Also I used to work with Puppet in an 8000 server environment and Ansible and Salt both are so much more fun and easy to use than Puppet.  I hear the same thing over Chef too.<p>Last Ansible is the only one that doesn&#x27;t require any agents installed and does everything via SSH.  At first I didn&#x27;t think I&#x27;d like that coming from Puppet but, I can do everything I need to without another daemon to worry about.
