Let's talk Ansible! Drupal 8 uses YAML. Ansible uses YAML. Drupal 8 makes it easy to build awesome websites. Ansible makes it easy to build awesome infrastructure. Let's get together and discuss how you can use (and are already using) Ansible for your infrastructure, continuous integration, deployments, etc., with a focus on things like: - Ansible for local development environments (e.g. Drupal VM, Vlad) - Ansible on a cluster of Raspberry Pis (seriously! I'm bringing the Dramble with me) - Ansible for provisioning and managing hundreds of cloud servers. Jeff Geerling will be leading the BoF, but hopefully we'll end up with a good discussion about how Ansible can help you solve some pain points in infrastructure management, deployments, and more!
