Discussion
12 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Talos OS, Docker Compose with Ansible, K3s, Cockpit, Ansible with SSH and monitoring
Concerns raised: Allows unconstrained config drift with no audit trail, Unclear how it compares to existing solutions like Ansible, Kubernetes doesn't actually solve server management problems, Still need something to install Kubernetes on servers first, Only doing less than Kubernetes isn't a principled differentiation
Feature requests: Support for managing containers and environment variables without effort, Built-in audit trail and config management

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
