The question here is what motivates individual developers to write big projects and then release them as open source. I think vague dreams of million-dollar deals are part of this for a lot of people. As the developer community becomes mo

Even if your playbooks run everything as sudo, that doesn't mean you have to grant AWX/Tower users the ability to create arbitrary playbooks or run anything else as sudo. You certainly can do that, but the point of the RBAC featur

Don't you have to give Jenkins the same credentials and attack surface that you would have had to give to AWX/Tower? With the Jenkins model, can't someone just add a job that dumps the execution environment, and get all your

I agree that the Mac packaging system is wonderful for installing programs, but I think this is because it does not even attempt to solve the problem of uninstalling programs. Arguably, this is a good trade-off because users rarely uninstal
