I am quite intrigued. With the sorry state of security, I am doing everything in VMs and have been trying to settle on the best way to setup a new machine. The process is so clunky that I end up defaulting to bigger instances than I should (more pets than cattle).

Being able to centralize this config is far more attractive than having a separate Ansible or pyinfra process.

Edit: The docs on this are very encouraging! However, it is not clear- what is experimental? Anything notably buggy or churning? Any far off features you hope to implement some day?

ALL mise features are experimental until the design is finalized. I don’t do breaking changes except in exceptional circumstances with a long procedure, so experimental means I have the liberty of making them in any release. It is not at all any marker of quality. That said, in practice I don’t make them often.

I’d argue it’s a good time to play with features since if you have any ideas on how it might better fit your workflow I still have the ability to change the design before it’s largely frozen.
