A tool like ansible, but the configuration is an excel spreadsheet instead of yaml.

@liebach Yep, to have Ansible read something that isn't YAML would be great. At this point I'd accept stone tablets; even if my preference would be JSON or TOML.

@hl Excel is absolutely worse than stone tablets and yaml.

@liebach sigh. I guess it depends on what the config is. If it's being provided by and checked by people outside IT, then having a spreadsheet of the config isn't an awful idea. Getting a non-coder to edit YAML is probably going to generate more errors than sourcing from Excel. But using that to directly feed into a config manager probably isn't as smart.

@guigsy It's an internal tool for us techies, for use in a heavily VMwarified Windows based environment to build industrial control systems.
