This session was delivered by two of the best experts of the industry Sreejith Anujan and Arun Eapen CISSP, RHCA, RHCSS, RHCDS, RHCVA. They showed many use cases and industry need of automation using ansible.
I enjoyed this expert session a lot and learned multiple use cases
Here are some of the key points that where discussed in the session :
1.AUTOMATION
Automation means managing task is simple way.It is a method of using technologies for accomplishing our required tasks or usecases with as little interation as possible.Ansible is one of the automation tool available in market.
It can be used for
- application deployment
- configuration management
- provisioning
- orchestration
and many more.
2.NEEDS OF SCALING
Scaling is needed as clients and network traffic is increasing so to make sure client has a smooth experience we need scaling to provide proper accessibility and availability. Also to avoid situation of Single point of failure(SPOf).Ansible Tower is a product mostly used by industries for scaling purposes
3.ANSIBLE TOWER
Ansible tower provides WebUI with many features such as job template, creating credentials, etc. Also, we can use multiple Ansible tower in our automation infrastructure as they share common secured database at backend.
In ansible tower,
- we can set the order in which playbooks should run i.e we can set workflow
- we can use notification systems to notify all the team members of the new infrastructure deployed.
4.JOB TEMPLATE
Job Template is similar to Ansible-playbook which is used to run the .yml files. It is a feature in Ansible Tower to run multiple playbooks simultaneously.here we can also schedule timings to run job template.
5.How can we integrate Ansible Tower with Cloud & Notification based Applications
We can integrate Ansible Tower with Cloud and Notification based Applications by using APIs of cloud platforms. like in slack with workflows.
