Talk 1 covers configuration management in general

The focus will be:

* unit and integration testing
* portability
* policies and rules
* roles and projects

Automating tasks with Configuration Management System (CMS) tools is not difficult, but maintaining usable, portable, reliable and reproducible automation is not.

There are lots of publicly available `ansible` roles, but very few are actually usable, portable, and reliable. They might boost initial project development, but sooner or later, the project becomes unmaintainable piece of code. You will be _the CMS person_ who is only be able to maintain the project.

The aim of the talk is, making project development usable, portable, reliable and reproducible, and encouraging others to get involved in project development. The talk will discuss policies and rules that standardise `ansible` roles and projects developments, the effects of writing portable roles, some quality assurance approaches, and writing tests, among others. The talk tries to avoid tips, features, or implementation details of `ansible` so that other CMS users also enjoy the talk.
