Why ansible is better than chef and puppet?

Question

Could someone tell me why Ansible is better than Chef and Puppet?

Answer 1

All these three tools are configuration management tools that are in use by organizations around the world. Configuration management tools are extremely important in the DevOps community for their help in provisioning servers, maintaining it, and managing it in case of sever failures, by sending configuration through codes or through files. Ansible is better than Chef and Puppet in many ways, and let me share some of the points that will help you summarize this:

1. Ansible is written in Python and doesn’t have a master-slave architecture, rather it only has mastered.
2. Installing Ansible is easy and doesn’t take much time.
3. It follows both Push and Pull configuration, whereas the other two have only Pull configuration management.  
4. Ansible could be scaled very high when compared to Chef and Puppet, etc. along with many other features that make it a good choice against Chef and Puppet.
