Don't sweat the Small [data] Stuff #64

Title

Don't sweat the small stuff with APIDB & Ansible

Description

[SMALL DATA] - Everyone forgets about the small stuff but Small Data solves BIG problems.

  1. Small data is ACCESSIBLE
  2. Small data is UNDERSTANDABLE
  3. small data is ACTIONABLE

We ask questions about our infrastructure all the time and it normally involves knowing something small from 10s, 100s or 1000s of servers. With no easy way to store infrastructure data, we end up regularly running playbooks or scripts, parsing that data, then importing it into excel or local files to give us answers to our questions. APIDB is a collection of ansible roles that let you collect Small Data and display it in a customisable dashboard. Privileged escalation is not required and you have the control to only show the data that's important to you. APIDB lets you reach into your infrastructure and maximise the visibility of your environments for Cloud, Containers, virtual machines and physical servers.

Estimated Duration

35-40 minutes (possibly more with questions)
