Ansible: from provisioning to application deployment

Automate all the things!

Translated from French with AI assistance. Read the original

Here is the talk on Ansible I gave at ElaoTalk #5, which was streamed on YouTube.

45 minutes in which I present the Ansible provisioning tool through concrete use cases and a demo of deploying a Symfony2 application.

Among other things, the talk answers these questions:

  • What is Ansible?
  • What is Ansible for?
  • Why set it up?
  • Why Ansible rather than Chef or Puppet?
  • How do you deploy an application with Ansible?
  • How does it differ from deployment tools like Fabric or Capistrano?
