Replace Ansible with any Enterprise Configuration Management solution.  I

BTW, Red Hat tried to acquire Puppet Labs prior, and it's integrated into
Red Hat Satellite.  So it's never been an Ansible-only aspect.  That's why
I said 'same with a system that pulls Puppet manifests.'  Some Enterprise
environments use *both* too -- Puppet for base/pull, Ansible for post-build
operations/modificatoins.

Again, you're missing the point.  My argument had nothing to do with
Ansible.  It had to do with the fact automation is becoming required of
Senior SysAdmins today. That's just the reality now.
