We, at hioscar.com, run ansible local from the local goat for all config
runs from cron, every 10 minutes.

Pros:
It's fast
It's automatic, so devs don't need direct access to our systems.

Con:
It isn't aware of the whole inventory, mainly due to our setup. This ends
up complicating things when you build logic around inventory knowledge of
other systems. An example is setting quorum size based on number of nodes
in the inventory.

Overall it's been a cool setup. If the con is a show stopper, then check
out ansible tower.
