scy<p>In the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Hetzner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hetzner</span></a> Cloud API, you can refer to resources by their ID (an integer) or their name. Both are unique. The name is user-defined and designed to be human-readable, but needs to be identifier-like.</p><p>For example, you'd name a server "db01" or a volume "db-main" or an IP address "db01-v6".</p><p>However, in <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/pyinfra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pyinfra</span></a>, "name" is a reserved word and I can't use it, but "id" is something else, too.</p><p>For now I've used "handle" instead of "name", but I wonder whether you have better suggestions.</p>
Serge from Babka<p>PyInfra demonstrates a powerful point. With Ansible if you want to feed information to Ansible, you must do through so Yaml. Yaml is fine, but PyInfra simply lets you feed information directly to it without an intermediary file format.</p><p>Why do we complicate our lives with these intermediate formats when they're often unnecessary? Wouldn't pure programming be better for the user?</p><p>I'm looking at you, OpenTofu.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/PyInfra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyInfra</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Yaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yaml</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/DSL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DSL</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/OpenTofu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenTofu</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Terraform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Terraform</span></a></p>
