I’ve found that when working with Fortigate firewalls and needing to be able to use the debug flow command set, it takes a bit too long to manually type out the commands. If you’re in a pressurised environment saving a few seconds here and there can be valuable. First we need to grab the script […]

It all started with a tweet by Stephane Clavel:
@ioshints @BradHedlund I'm puzzled NSX dFW does not track connections seq #. Still true? To me this is std fw feature.

It seems like just yesterday that we were putting together the recap of Ansible's community growth in 2014. That was a very good year.
Here we are at the start of 2016 already -- and looking back on 2015, it was an even better year than 2014 was.
First, let's take a look at the numbers. For consistency's sake, we'll mostly compare to 2014 numbers, which can be found in last year's analysis. Note that the same caveats from last year's analysis also apply this year.
Debian’s Popularity Contest is an opt-in way for Debian users to share information about the software they’re running on their systems. Although it represents only a small sample of the Linux distro world, it’s useful because it’s one of the few places where we can really see an apples-to-apples comparison of install bases of the various tools. Because Ansible is agentless, we compare the Ansible package to the server packages of other configuration management tools.
For the first time in 2015, Ansible installations on this chart outnumbered Puppetmaster installations. Ansible shows continued strong growth, and appears to remain on an upward trend into 2016.
Caveats abound with this chart, but it does Continue reading
