What's your definition of "new"?
I never see Ansible is using for Automation in Linux servers, It's a rare thing, So I bring it as new to hosting field.
Is this the host who got banned few months ago?
No, we never get banned as we always trying to find a new way in hosting industry. We have started the company recently but in this field with 9 years of experience. So always looking to start a new techology in hosting industry
I really hate to be that guy but...
yum/apt install redis
Ansible just a tad overkill. Anything further will be too use case specific to be generically automated. Really all of this is one liner stuff.

I don't mind doing sometimes-buggy bash scripts to automate crap. It just works most of the time. Ansible is all and good until the package gets changed, etc., and it all breaks, so you'd need to maintain an internal repo, and package it all yourself.
We are using variables and templates, So everything will works fine. I did a lot of experiments in my test machine before bring it live
We have options to go advanced in Ansible with templates used for specific configurations and make changes with the help of variables.
The user was at least informally warned about violating rules:
https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/172941/looking-for-managed-service-for-your-servers#latest
Also, just variables won't help, as Ansible is meant for custom workflows; for standardized one time workflows you can still run a command.
Yes, we got a warning in our initial days as we are not much experienced in writing a post here.
Yes, we can do it with ad-hoc command as well, but if we have a predefined playbook, things will be faster than one line command.
You definitely got banned before, but for whatever reasons someone unbanned you and got a provider tag despite not fulfilling the requirements, and now trying hard to make up all the posts
I dont even know whats the point of rules at this point.
Yes, We got banned before as we are not knowing all the rules. I clearly understand the rules now and making posts on the respective discussion category with right rules.
Hey now. That's no way to talk to the guy who made an Ansible playbook to run yum update.
What kind of rubbish is this?
Ansible was introduced by DeHaan ~9 years ago.
Let code speak for itself. Show your playbooks, either on Galaxy or your self-managed version control system. Latter should be easy given the vast experience implied in the post.
It's not about yum update command alone. I have created a lot of Ansible roles to create a new way in automating Linux servers especially hosting servers.
Haha, sorry, it’s sounds to me one account is banned we managed to open a new one under different name - a way to bypass all the rules, so exactly the same as technology you do use - nothing is new!
Breakthrough, no less. Where are the playbooks?
Unfortunately It's not possible to show playbooks as showing playbooks here can take the codes easily from here, then my efforts for creating playbooks are worthless.
I meant we have banned once and then never got banned after we understand the rules clearly.
@jbiloh why?
~~jbiloh can you please help solve the mystery?
Banned user getting un banned and getting a provider tag?~~
A question meant for jbiloh has been answered by OP.
So I am assuming OP was reinstated by jbiloh or OP is jbiloh.
Therefore,
I have
Deleted my question.
Playbooks are stored in my local machine and my private repository. no one can access it except me.
I am sorry, but do you offer anything other than shared hosting and "Server Management"(with 30$/month cheapest plan)?
I don't know what offers the offer category can post...
I vote for "this is a scam". Some schmook tries to sell an invisible magic they are unable to demonstrate.
Just to be clear, I am ok with unbanning if a provider is shown to be ok (I havent done enough check on easycomehost), but I really have no idea why theres no any verification of minimum posts for provider tag
We still using the same name. but introduced ansible automation to our current website
We are posting the contents in the right discussion topic and following all rules. So I don't think there is any need of ban anymore
Sorry if needed I will show a small portion of my playbook, other than that I cannot show anything in my playbook. So you will understand I am not doing scam and have proper vision in hosting industry. here it is
Yes, solution is easy. we are posting the contents in the right discussion topic and following all rules. so no worries about unbanned and provider tag acceptance.
