End-to-end automation with Ansible

Speaker: Maxim Burgerhout

Abstract

Let me take you on a journey through the endless possibilities of Ansible. You already knew Ansible could manage Linux machines, but your data center contains much, much more. What about hypervisors? Clouds? Windows machines? Network devices? Kubernetes? Applications?

During this session, we'll look at deploying and configuring various platforms and applications, combining them into automated wall-to-wall deployments and look at some things you might never have tried before!

At Red Hat, Maxim is part of the presales team in the Benelux region, as a principal solution architect, and part-time evangelist.
