11:48 SSH is Secure SHell, not secure socket hashing

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Hi Andy, SSH is also called Secure Shell or Secure Socket Shell, which is a network protocol that gives users, particularly system administrators, a secure way to access a computer over an unsecured network.

[@theusernameyoudidntexpect6511]

Never have I ever heard it referred to as "secure socket hash". Its Wikipedia page doesn't even include the word 'hash', likely because it makes little-to-no sense in describing its function. Honestly, it sounds more like jargon someone made up to sound like they knew what they were talking about...

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Thanks for your feedback. You can check out this link for more clarity on SSH: searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/Secure-Shell

[@rohitrajkumar1234]

@Charle MIJ not really :)

[@mjsp8]

@@SimplilearnOfficial so it doesn't stand for secure socket hashing then, like you said.

Salt all the way! Have used ansible since 1.7 and last was 2.x, until I discovered salt. The speed of execution and flexibility of salt just blew me away!

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Thanks for sharing your input!

[@belipipi]

Definitely agreed, Ansible is good for noobs, but when you wanna do serious things go for Salt. I worked with both and I will never go back to that Ansible hell ...

[@UtpalBhattacharjee]

Now both Ansible and Saltstack are available in AWS.

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Yes! You are right about that!

[@00Dawggg]

Also Azure and GCP

[@user-ui1tx9ey2i]

Yes. But It's a non-managed service. It needs to configure the EC2.

Firstly, thanks for the video. In my opinion, Ansible is on the top. Easy for setting up, a lot of modules and if you want, make your own modules in easy coding like is python. No master-client arquitecture and tower or AWX like GUI. Pull and push working mode. The best

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Thanks for watching the video and also for the tips!

[@mzs114]

Until you have event based requirement, then Ansible is rigid. Salt kills it in this area.

[@wolfflighttzw]

The comments about SaltStack requiring Minion client install are not accurate. Currently Salt-ssh requires absolutely no minion (client) installation.

[@irascib1e]

Saltstack doesn't use SSH for communication. The controller opens a port that the agents on each node connect to and the controller publishes commands through that port.

It should be noted for Puppet environments, the master node does not push to client nodes, clients PULL configuration catalogs from the master node(and this can be set on intervals)

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Thanks for watching our video and sharing your knowledge.

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

We agree with you. We will make updated video soon.

[@mzs114]

Tbh, except for a few points, this was pretty superficial comparison. For instance agent based tools will work across networks restrictions. And event driven automation of salt. I don't think any of the other tools have this. Also salt has SSH b Push based feature too.

[@sabestek8896]

Very good.. thx much for the lesson. quick question.. where does vagrant and openstack fit in all this as part of the devops toolbox .?

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

"Hi, OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter. While Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing development environments. Vagrant provides the framework and configuration format to create and manage complete portable development environments."

[@aneelysis]

When comparing the 4 solutions, what is your criteria for determining "Ease of Setup" and "Management"? Why is it easier to setup and manage Ansible vs the others? How are you determining that?

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Ease of setup is the effort required in installing and configuring the tool on your system. Management refers to writing your configuration files that will manage the node systems. Ansible is easiest to setup mainly as it's clientless and easy to manage, as the code is written in YAML.

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Thanks for your valuable input!

[@aneelysis]

@J W I've worked with Ansible and fairly familiar with it, I just was curious to know what the criteria that is being used when talking about "Ease of Setup" and "Management". Most people have would use a decision matrix to identify the guidelines that helped make the decision.

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Since ansible is client-less, its easy to setup. Playbooks make management of ansible much easier.

[@ITSecurityLabs]

Great explanation. Thanks

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Hi, we appreciate the kind comment! enjoy!

[@besrabasant]

Btw... If you want to do advanced stuffs with Ansible, you can Python

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Yes, it is possible. Thanks for sharing your insights.

[@n1cl4s]

As far as I know Ansible is available on AWS.

[@UtpalBhattacharjee]

Right

[@MrChaos2peace]

Since when Puppet was easy to setup? I find it very resource dependent and needing a tons of troubleshooting for the comm between Master -> Agent to be seamless b4 even the first proper CM runs. I am leaning more towards Ansible now, its already RHAT owned and a yum installs it.

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

As compared to Ansible, Puppet setup is definitely not as simple. Anyways, thanks for your thoughts!

[@mzs114]

Checkout salt befor deciding on DSL based tools like chef/puppet. Ansible users will experience the power of event driven automation with salt!

[@theadmin1982]

You need to update your video as Ansible is available in AWS.

I went from only having heard about Ansible and being able to proficiently provision Windows/Linux endpoints in a couple of months, so I'll give my vote for Ansible. Their documentation is very good, not perfect. I checked how Puppet configuration blocks or tasks look like, compared to Ansible, and I didn't like that at all. By using these tools, you are looking to easily manage a large number of endpoints, Puppet seems to go the other way in that regard. Edit: Oh, and no Agents, which is the best.

[@TheDreamzFactory]

Guys, I am little new to this battle, Does Ansible provide automatic configuration restore for a host? I believe such a thing is possible in chef, Wherein if any host's configuration is diverged let's say manually deleting the package, It will be restored automatically w.r.t its the configuration defined in chef cookbooks.

[@SimplilearnOfficial]

Yes, this is provided by all 4 tools. Thanks.

[@jimmmaximilia2913]

Im learning Powershell DSC..

[@monday6740]

6:55 That's a big step backwards ... Having an easy method, like YAML, means it is easy to use, but then isn't very powerful. That's what you get when you don't have a real programming language. Remember : these tools are meant to replace scripts written on servers (CMD batch on Windows and Bash or similar on Linux/Unix). These are no real programming languages as well, but they have lots of logic nevertheless (Windows Powershell even more). In that context, YAML seems like the worst, because it does not seem to have enough logic. It risks being used to just call scripts that do have logic, like Bash, or Perl, or whatever.
