Summary: So why bother with Ansible in 2025? Because it gives you interesting features out of the box:1) Idempotency, 2) Drift detection, 3) a really high level ‘language’. And because used with UV, Ansible can be used as a standalone ‘scripting’ ‘language’, with idempotency and drift detection, again out of the box. For certain tasks, those are killer features. Which tasks? Think for example installation of software; installation of tools; Developer Experience (DevEx) setup; CD part of a CICD pipeline; setup of CI ephemeral runners etc.
