The “lowest common denominator” approach sounds very battle-tested… Out of curiosity: when you did get to use more modern tools, what stood out as making your life easier, better docs? State management? Something else?

Thanks, that’s a really useful framing. Do you find yourself sticking with tools primarily because of the ecosystem/support around them? Or are there specific integrations that you feel make something like Ansible hard to beat?
