Ansible is a server management tool on many OS platforms. It comes with a declarative semantics whereby you state what you want on the server instead of providing steps to reach there. This will save the effort to the lengthy and error prone wrangling of lines of conditionals in bash. In this talk, we will explore together how Ansible can make our life easier.
Presentation content
Topic: Scalable server management with Ansible
WIIFY: With Ansible, you write what you want instead of how you get what you want.
Key Points:
Ansible is scalable
Ansible is idempotent
Ansible is better than scripting as it is declarative and therefore less error-prone
Ansible is better than Chef and Puppet because
Ansible is agent-less
Ansible is YAML and Python
