I've overlooked too much the optimization in the workload that get dispatched and just looked at the scheduling part. Thanks for the explanation!

Still giving them credit because creating such as scheduler/platform from scratch is quite complex, and I know that they probably struggled a lot to get it right.
Some companies do use Ansible at an higher usage level, on big infrastructure, and where change iterations happens quickly.
In this context the Ansible model might not scale well : Your deployment time is bound by both the network you're using to contact the nodes you're managing, where you literally feel any round-trip your packets have to make, and by the number of nodes you have to perform actions on (which is somewhat solved by the use of mitogen with Ansible for example).
On top of that, for advanced usage, you're still dependent on the fact that Python is present on the system you're targeting with Ansible, which makes the idea that "ansible does not require anything on the target host" a bit false, although most distributions ships with Python by default.
Peekl is targeted towards organizations that requires good scaling capabilities, and high velocity in changes deployments. Having to actively be deploying in this context, instead of passively deploying, can be challenging.
Peekl is an alternative to Ansible, but would probably not be as good as an alternative for small individuals/companies who don't manage an important fleet, or do not have an high number of changes going through.
So your point is valid, note everyone would find Peekl a good Ansible alternative.
Happy to answer any questions you might have :)
At least for Europe, and more specifically France, laptop use in classrooms in high school, is still not a thing. So that would explain why they don't do it everywhere the same and the huge price difference.
The only thing that will change as far as I know is that battery won't be glued anymore. You'll still have to open the phone with screw like you did before.
It's also heavily bound to network connectivity, if your server your reaching has 100ms of latency, every time Ansible does something, you will feel those 100ms.
In the case of Peekl, it's easy : The server will read the content from the local disk (depending on what roles you have, your groups, and also load the variables.) And simply sends the "compiled catalog" to your agent who will go through all of it and performs actions as needed.
It's called Peekl, and the idea behind it was to merge the two things I loved about both Ansible, and Puppet : - The agent/server model of Puppet; - The ease of writing Ansible code.
It also make sure to solve the problem that both Ansible and Puppet have in my sense : - Puppet is a slow, decades old application. It's written in Ruby and run inside of a JVM for the server. Applying a catalog can be very long on complex configuration setup. - Ansible on the other side works well, but the absence of an agent makes it hard to deploy stuff at scale : You being spending more time running your playbooks, than actually doing stuff.
So if you want to take a look at this alternative, head to the Github repository. Feel free to break it, open issues, and pull requests !
(and regarding contributors for all of his projects, it's mostly vibe-coded)
Mmh.. The fact that it is encrypted client-side ? I mean the code is open-source fgs. [0][1][2]

It also doesn't help that I'm not that familiar with the language.
It's called Peekl, and is available on Github. Tho it's still in what I'd called "alpha". Lot of new features to come!
What language did you have in mind that you'd rather use compared to YAML ?
Available now, it will provide access to at least eight quantum computers, including Pasqal's Orion Beta
I think that y'all are a bit unfair in the way you're talking about H-1Bs.
I know that in the US recruitment in tech is at a all time low, and that you would most likely want the few jobs that actually exist to go towards US Citizens. I get this feeling.
However, thinking that you're jobless because of H-1B is kind of ridiculous. You're straight up lying to yourselves at this point.
I get that some companies might abuse the system, especially tech consulting firms that are looking for people that will work for way cheaper, since they would do absolutely everything to evade their third world country.
But please, at a time where companies are insulting everyone of us by saying that they can simply replace us with clankers, don't use H-1Bs as a punching ball. The people in charge, who are just seeking higher margins, are the one that makes it hard for you guys to find a job, and making you leave hell with layoffs.
Be better.
I have a similar set-up, without authentication however, relying on Nebula! https://github.com/slackhq/nebula
If consumer spending decreases, everything goes down. For example if you take ads shown on blog post, news media.. What happens tomorrow once human traffic decrease, and it's mostly crawlers.. How can those website still keep up ? Crawlers don't click ads.
Either rich people are just trying to surf the wave of AI and we've got to endure this for a few years. Or if it's not a wave, it could deeply change our society, beyond everything we've seen.
I'm all in for AI to take over my job. And then other peoples jobs. But then what ? Once the world is made mostly of unemployed people, what will happen ? Sure you can have food prepared by clankers, delivered by clankers, taxis driven by clankers and so far... But with which consumers ? Will clankers pay money to other clankers ? Surely not.
And I'm not even that much of an anti-AI guy, I'm just wondering where the hell are we going with that ? Sure for rich people it's an absolute delight to see that they can now produce code without having to pay people, increase margins like never before ... But then what ?
When Russia started the war with Ukraine, they we're saying that it would be a blitzkrieg. It wasn't. And we're talking about a country which doesn't have any nuclear weapons, who's fighting with shitty FPV drones.
And you're here, telling us that Russia would even dare to set a single foot in any of the European country ? While they're in reach of French nuclear arsenal ? Without the ability to even know where "Le Terrible" is on earth ?
Come on kid, be serious for a minute.
Thank you Mellanox. Really.
Something worth to point out : Those boilers are more for industry oriented usage, such as heating a pool, or industry that requires hot water, not really home-grade boiler.
However public pool still needs to be heated, and same goes for industry that requires hot water, there production won't just stop for multiples month of the year !
