Ansible best practices for startups to enterprises

Ansible is the Swiss Army knife of DevOps, capable of handling many powerful automation tasks with the flexibility to adapt to many environments and workflows. Not all approaches are created equal though. Don't let yours undermine the simplicity and power of Ansible. Based on actual experiences helping Ansible users, we'll show you what to do, and what not to do, to create the most reliable, resilient, and easy-to-manage solutions.

Wish the camera person would focus less on the presenter and more on the slides.

Organize Your Playbooks and Roles:

Structure your playbooks and roles logically. Keep related tasks together in separate roles and playbooks.
Use a version control system like Git to manage your Ansible codebase.

Content starts at 5:50 min. And there is actually little information of interest. Best might be around the 30min mark. From roughly 42:00 on, it is questions.

Hello, great upload... thanks.

Question: is there any advantage to using yum/apt modules rather than the generic package module?

@ 55:07, the guy is like "Screw you, I am OK with pulling changes..." :D

[Lehi]

so my main question is that with result.content where does .content come from? result was previously declared and made, but content was not. if return_content is applicable to result.content, then would not end.content be the same as start.content?

You declare it as if it were a method, but I cannot see any true declaration of the method. Perhaps I'm reading a literal into a hypothetical, but this is still concerning as this is the 3rd time I've seen this inconsistency..

If the methods are that ambiguous, how do you declare repeatable results?

[felipealvarez]

is the sound volume very low or is it just me?

[Lehi]

OHHHH!!! The methods are called by this...

method:<action>

Would it be possible to share this presentation?

30:48 In the documentation, section database, there's no entry at all for Oracle - I thought RedHat to be Oracle friendly ... But, Ansible not, I guess

Camera spends lots of time of the presenter and not much on the slides.

Hi can any one help me to resolve this problem

In my ST environment we are not in a position to properly tell what build is running, what service version are running, what is the configuration of the services-which means to what version of services the app is pointing.we are using .NET code.
