I’d say that a tool like Packer is heavily reliant upon Ansible to be useful so I don’t see Ansible going anywhere anytime soon. If there’s a better tool than Ansible out there to pair with Packer please let me know!

This is now our primary use of Ansible as well. We install and minimally configure systems in machine images, then use cloud-init to do the remaining 1% of config at VM build time.

We dropped Ansible and Packer when we went with containers (instead of AMIs). Ok we still use a small bit of Ansible: the vault feature.
