I'm hoping this is the best place for this question. I'm trying to setup a small cluster to get a better handle on ELK and automation/management (using Ansible/etc). Right now I'm just running VMs on VMWare Player, and I have baby's first two machine cluster up and running. Is there a better tool I can use to accomplish this? Would something like Vagrant allow me to easily spin up machines (ideally five or so, I think), or should I just scale the VM setup?

Vulture Culture posted:Depends what you're trying to do. If you're looking to have a bunch of VMs set up so that you can test a bunch of different playbooks corresponding to various server roles, for instance, you might be better off with something like Vagrant and Test Kitchen with the Ansible provisioner. If you're trying to set up clusters of interrelated services, stick with how you're already doing things for your sanity's sake. I took some doing but I got my vagrant cluster up and working with ansible, it's pretty cool even if building a vagrant file to accomplish what I wanted wasn't as easy as I thought - thanks for the advice.
