Ansible is really great, but for reasons some people might not think about.<p>Ansible has support for powershell, which is essentially now the backend of windows. (your new servers are gui-less right?) Powershell is also not a bad language at all, and while for those of us that are bash/zsh/fish natives, it will take some getting used to, I find it a really powerfull and more intuitive way to interact with windows, even if it is <i>very overly majorly verbose-verbose</i>.<p>Being able to work in my very mixed environment (Solaris/OSX/Linux/Doze, etc) via a central ansible server group is awesome.
