Comment on How do I avoid becoming one with the botnet?

In another life I worked as a Mech Eng for a Contractor firm. The rule was ‘If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen’. Over the years, that has bled into my personal life as well. I hear what you’re saying, and from what I’ve digested regarding Ansible, it is a quite powerful and capable package. However, let’s let OP stand up his first server. He’s already stressed about not being a botnet victim. So, perhaps some rudimentary steps are in order. Then you can blow his mind with Ansible. LOL
