Ansible:

  • Both playbooks:
    • added FQCN to functions for clarity
    • added permissions to shell ops
    • changed shell ops to command ops where appropriate
    • Added pipefails to piped shell ops
    • Updated wget ops to builtin's or curl
    • Simplified tags and conditional run logic - moved from task to block level
  • Playbook 2:
    • extracted python and spark versions to vars for maintainability
    • Spark: async -> sync for simplicity and using builtins, time trade off is a few minutes

README:

  • macOS - removed homebrew installs and dependency on xcode-select. To be reviewed once we stop supporting Intel macs.
    • Removed - homebrew section
    • gcloud sdk - installer instead of homebrew
    • Terraform - download binary and add it to /usr/local/bin/
  • gcloud sdk - Added section on accepting permissions on gcloud auth login/gcloud init
  • dotfiles - simplified alumni instructions
  • Hyperlinks for Ansible installed software
  • dbeaver - clarified community version, updated hyperlink to /downloads
  • Remote - SSH VS Code ext - added missing search instruction
  • Typo's and semantic corrections
