The document summarizes an Ansible meetup about using Ansible for infrastructure automation and configuration management. It introduces the speaker Pierre Mavro and his company Nousmotards, which created a social network for motorcyclists. Pierre discusses how they use Ansible along with Docker, Packer, Jenkins, Consul, and Consul Template to build and deploy containers for their application architecture in a scalable and automated way. He emphasizes how Ansible is integrated throughout their workflow and contributes roles to Ansible Galaxy. Pierre concludes by inviting attendees to learn more about Nousmotards and their use of Ansible for automation.
