Everything as code and GitOps with Ansible

Managing a large infrastructure with Ansible Automation Platform requires quite a lot of content to be created and managed in Ansible Tower. On top of that, Tower becomes a very critical component of many business processes - from rolling out application deployments to configuring network devices.

In this session we'll show how we addressed these concerns at ODC-Noord with IaC and GitOps, achieving consistency of the content across many Tower instances in multiple environments, reducing time for recovery after failures and shifting legacy paradigms of infrastructure and software management towards modern code-driven techniques.
