Automate Docker Deployments with Ansible

Docker solves big problems by providing continuous development and testing environments with rapid deployment cycles. It helps you package your application code with dependencies as an image to provide consistent conditions that never break.

However, there is still a missing link. What if you want to avoid doing any manual steps and automate this process of building and deploying your airflow container on a VM on the cloud. We use Ansible, an IT automation tool at Lynx, to achieve this last mile automation.

Benefits of using Ansible
Free and open source
Provides a simple setup that uses YAML configurations, no special coding skills are required
Cater for complex workflows, including deployment on multiple servers, clusters, and orchestrations
Ansible is agentless, you don’t need to install separate software on hosts.
Provides flexibility to deploy on servers, VMs, or cloud with the same YAML scripts
