We run Ansible with great success. We use Ansible to provision the server and keep all Kamailio related code in a git-repo. Ansible has two tasks, (1) to provision the server according to business security standards and all sub-deps, and (2) to update the server when new code is commited to the repo.

On new code, it would then setup all dirs, restart Kamailio etc as needed.

We use the same logic and setup for Asterisk and have been doing that in production for a few years without any issues whatsoever.

Cheers,
Samuel

Did you start with it and stayed with, or you compared and found some
benefits vs. others like ansible, puppet, ...?

I started with ansible and happy with it, when I looked around the
reasons were that python was installed anyhow by default in debian, then
the target system didn't need to have any server/agent app deployed before.

Daniel
