So, if we're to work on writing reusable Ansible scripts for Docker,
Kubernetes, Atomic, etc., should it be only CentOS/Fedora/RHEL
specific or generic? I prefer to write generic Ansible scripts, which
will work for RedHat and Debian distribution families. However, if
we're to release the ansible scripts on Ansible Galaxy under the
banner of CentOS, would it be proper to include scripts for Debian
too, then? Also, having generic scripts for multiple distribution
families would increase the maintenance overhead. However, if we
undertake the pain of maintaining the scripts, it will really be
helpful for the Linux devops community, in general, no matter where
they use RedHat or Debian based distribution, to use the Ansible
scripts, which are developed and maintained by us.
