Puppet went full enterprise too and now there's a dizzying amount of "products" catering to your needs.

It's written on the wall for Ansible, Red Hat/IBM is busy churning out the product space already.

It's weird that there's so much money in enterprise IT. If anything, they should know the value of standards and reference implementations.

Almost 25 years ago, SSH went full enterprise and promptly died. Somehow, they need for a simple remote shell protocol didn't die, and now OpenSSH is perhaps the most valuable tool we have.

I had no idea there was ever a company called SSH but apparently they still exist . Seems they were way ahead of the curve on what became known as "open core"
