In EL 8 , there is no 'default' python. You can use both.

My choice would be ansible because APIs change , but also ansible modules are 
updated. If you create your own script , you will have to take care about the 
updates, while with ansible - you just update the relevan packages :)

As the three servers are Centos8 minimal installs. + oVirt HCI wizard to keep 
them lean and mean... a couple questions

1) which version of python would I need for this (note in script about python 2 
but isn't that deprecated?)
[root@thor /]# yum install python
Last metadata expiration check: 2:29:38 ago on Wed 30 Sep 2020 01:18:32 PM EDT.
No match for argument: python
There are following alternatives for "python": python2, python36, python38
Error: Unable to find a match: python

2)  When you have three nodes.. one is set to host the ovirt-engine active, and 
another as backup.  If this is added to rc.local.   Of the two nodes hosting HA 
for oVirt-engine.. node which boots first will host (or so it seems). I think 
if I add this to both those hosts .. it will not create issues.  Any thoughts?
