What breaks without openclaw ansible deployment
Manual multi-server deploys producing configuration drift. No fleet-wide config enforcement. Credentials inconsistent across instances.
→
Consistent fleet deployment × official Ansible roles for OpenClaw infrastructure ÷ 2-hour setup ÷ zero configuration drift = 10 servers identical to the first one.
