Elio Greico on Managing Infrastructure with Ansible on the Digital Ocean

Managing collections of servers, whether virtual or bare metal, is a time consuming and error prone process. How can reclaim our precious time?

Ansible gives us the ability to take advantage of today’s “disposable server” paradigm and vastly reduce time spent provisioning, configuring and reconfiguring machines. Additionally, because Ansible is embraces a declarative approach to describing configuration, updates are efficient and idempotent.

This talk assumes no prior experience with Ansible. Nor is experience with Puppet, Chef, Salt-stack, Capistrano or other configuration management or deployment systems required.Basic Ansible usage will be covered as well as more advanced techniques suitable for managing fleets of virtualized systems on modern “cloud” providers.

Elio has over 15 years experience in computer programming, systems architecture and systems administration. He has worked with clients such as NYU Law School, Intertech, various startups and Amazon. His focus has always been on secure, durable and reliable systems, with special emphasis on data durability and longevity.
