Automation with Ansible

With automation taking an increasingly important role as practices such as DevOps and Agile are more widely adopted, this meetup is designed for anyone considering or using Ansible as a key tool for implementing automation across both operations and development teams. To present this talk, we welcome Cloud and DevOps solutions architect, James Allen. In the first part of the evening, James will offer a brief introduction to Ansible in the context of adopting automation, before moving on to a demonstration of how to achieve a full-stack JBoss middleware deployment in minutes. Exploring automation both from an infrastructure and an application point of view, the demonstration will showcase infrastructure as code, middleware deployment and configuration, and application deployment.
