Aug 1, 2016 at 12:54 comment added ceejayoz @knowhy I'd still argue each of those are significantly more transparent to someone who wants to dig into the config. Looking at bitnami.com/stack/wordpress as an example, I can't see any obvious way to even figure out what web server the stack you'd be installing includes. ansible-galaxy is a bunch of pointers to Github projects with readable .yml files - Bitnami is an index of installers.

Jul 31, 2016 at 23:09 comment added ceejayoz @knowhy I think the point of differentiation for me is "does it leave its server owners ignorant of the system's configuration?" If it assists you in putting together a config, that's one thing, but the one-click stuff is typically negative on a long-term maintenance standpoint.
Jul 29, 2016 at 18:07 comment added Henrik Pingel While I totally agree with Bitnami being off-topic I'm not sure that Bitnami encourages non-standard deployment methodologies is a good and systematic reason. Who decides what is a standard? Feels a bit arbitrarily. And when SF decides to label a technology as non-standard that might have an impact on the chances of a technology to become a new standard. I mean most technologies are kind of non-standard in an early phase.
