Remember those people on FB/IG that have photos of travelling to exotic islands and Europe while working minimum wage jobs? That up to now used to be every second profile I would stumble upon on social networks, not anymore.
Correct. I can barely reach 120k usd in a fairly high salary eu country, while with the same expertise in USA could go easily above 300k
Small companies as well do this. I’ve had an interview where the CEO just called in their lead infrastructure guy to join the “conversation” and it turned out to be a free consultation session which I could have easily charged a good number on a normal day. After almost 5 hours of this interview I was told I’ll recieve a response on mail. 2 years later still nothing. Company in question: Skalogs/Sentai
In a history of running ansible for ages against 5k-25k machines regularly in not a single case I had to install python on any one of those before running a playbook. There's a reason why it's described as agentless.
ArchLinux - wrong, has python preinstalled even if you go with the base image. Alpine - doesn't even contain bash in the miniroot edition Busybox - similar to Alpine
If python happens to disappear from all linux distros ansible can still work with the raw module.
In any case, the bash script posted is based on apt install so it's not going to work on much less amount of distros rather than if it was just an ansible role.
