I am not doing "unattended mass deployment of Linux": https://fai-project.org/Running an installer (or restoring an image), booting the system, and then configuring the system over SSH is already part of my work flow. If Ansible can help me with the last step for Debian, FreeBSD, macOS, Windows, Linode, and potentially other operating systems, I would be happy. But, I am not encouraged by all the RedHat marketing hype.
