Anyone used ansible instead of chef?

GIS resides in our IT shop and we are looking standardizing with ansible for our application deployments. Knowing that Esri has created a number of cookbooks for chef we are wondering if anyone has tried to convert them to playbooks? If so, what kind of effort was involved? Is it best just to start from scratch? 

If there are any esri staff out there, do you know if there are any plans to release playbooks or is Esri married to chef?

Thanks!

Any way you can share those scripts with me (maybe via github)?  Also, did you do the same for EGDB setup (I'm thinking SQL Server, but might not matter)

I'm not ignoring you @MichaelBishopp but it's not so easy to purge our Github repo from some key information, although it already contains no actual credentials.

Will work on preparing a suitably redacted forked repo for you, but it's not my highest priority activity so will take some time.
