Pragmatic Infrastructure Management with Ansible
workshop
Description
This is a two-day deep-dive into infrastructure automation and management with the help of Ansible.
The simplicity, elegance and power of Ansible playbooks and roles will give you a head-start with any automation tasks: server provisioning, automated deployments, rolling updates, server state audit.
Ansible can handle everything, starting from simple installation and configuration management to complex orchestrations of your server and network device mesh.
