Who (or what) is the contender to replace Ansible?

I think Nix is most poised.

If you don’t have a way to do immutable infrastructure, Ansible is still extremely alive.

Containerization in general?

Who configures and installs software on the container hosts? How do you deploy applications directly on bare metal or VMs? Those are still sometimes required or preferred for various reasons.

IMO, you can speak about the death of bare metal (which is slowly happening), but definitely not tools like Ansible. They've found their niche.
