Ansible Automation Best Practices From Startups to Enterprises - Minnebar 12Keith Resar
This document provides an introduction to Ansible, describing it as an automation tool capable of handling many powerful automation tasks. It discusses how Ansible works using Playbooks written in YAML to execute tasks sequentially on managed nodes. Playbooks allow describing an entire infrastructure and orchestrating application deployment, configuration management, and workflow tasks in an agentless manner using OpenSSH and WinRM.
This document discusses how Ansible can be used to configure infrastructure and deploy applications faster and more reliably. It provides an overview of key Ansible concepts like playbooks, tasks, roles, and dynamic inventories. It also summarizes how to install Ansible, write a sample Apache playbook, use roles for reusability, and find community roles on Ansible Galaxy. Advanced topics covered include testing infrastructure code, the Drupal VM project, and how to write custom Ansible modules.
This Presentation is an introducing to the IT automation environment, starting from a sys admin point of view.
The purpose of these tools is to help in troubleshooting and handling an heterogeneous it environment to ensure availability and reliability.
John Minnihan argues that Ansible and Docker have made configuration tools like Chef and Puppet unnecessary. He claims that Ansible is easier to use than Chef and Puppet since it is agentless and only requires SSH, and that Docker containers are immutable and reusable, avoiding complex client arrangements. Minnihan asserts that people are frustrated with the work involved in maintaining Chef and Puppet and prefer the simplicity of Ansible and Docker's approach to infrastructure as code.
I presented this slides at the Ansible Munich Meetup on Feb 22cd 2016. You can find the recording of the talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7K1ETPyzoQ (starts at 1:18). This talk is giving a 101 level introduction on developing Ansible Module in Python.

This document provides an overview of Ansible, an open source tool for configuration management and application deployment. It discusses how Ansible aims to simplify infrastructure automation tasks through a model-driven approach without requiring developers to learn DevOps tools. Key points:
- Ansible uses YAML playbooks to declaratively define server configurations and deployments in an idempotent and scalable way.
- It provides ad-hoc command execution and setup facts gathering via SSH. Playbooks can target groups of servers to orchestrate complex multi-server tasks.
- Variables, templates, conditionals allow playbooks to customize configurations for different environments. Plugins support integration with cloud, monitoring, messaging tools.
- Ansible aims to reduce complexity compared
Test-Driven Infrastructure with Ansible, Test Kitchen, Serverspec and RSpecMartin Etmajer
The goal of Continuous Delivery is, briefly, to get features into your users' or customers' hands as quickly and confidently as possible. In order to succeed, Development and Operations teams need to align and come up with both working and deployable software in short, regular intervals. Chef, Puppet, Ansible & Co. enable teams to code up application runtime environments, but alone do not allow for building quality into their processes. In this presentation I will show how you can apply the "Red, Green, Refactor Cycle" of Test-Driven Development and combine it with your configuration management or orchestration tool of choice in order to come up with better infrastructure that can automatically be tested using Ansible, Test Kitchen, Docker, Serverspec and RSpec.
This document provides an overview of Ansible including why it is useful, how it compares to other configuration management tools, basic knowledge required, and steps for getting started with Ansible such as setting up the control node, configuring Ansible, using ad-hoc commands, and creating a playbook. Ansible is an agentless automation tool that uses YAML files and modules to configure systems. It has a simple syntax and supports both Linux and Windows systems.

DevOps for Humans - Ansible for Drupal Deployment Victory!Jeff Geerling
Everyone knows it's a Good Idea™ to use a configuration management system (e.g. Puppet, Chef) to manage your Drupal infrastructure. But many people (myself included) have run into a wall of #wtfmoments when trying to learn the vagaries of traditional CM systems and their vendor-specific syntaxes.
In 2012, Ansible was released, enabling normal human beings to manage their servers with an easy, but powerful, CM system that uses YAML (just like Drupal 8!) to define configuration and Jinja2 (very much like Twig!) for templates. Not only that, but Ansible is also an incredibly simple and very flexible Drupal deployment and continuous delivery tool.
Learn how you can use Ansible to manage your infrastructure—including local development environments—and stop letting servers and deployments get in the way of development.
Anas Tarsha presented on using Ansible for network automation. Ansible is an open source automation tool that is agentless and uses simple YAML files called playbooks to execute tasks sequentially. It can be used to generate device configurations, push configurations, collect running configs, upgrade devices, and more. Ansible modules run Python code directly on network devices to perform tasks. The demo showed using Ansible modules like ping, ios_command, and junos_command to execute show commands and change the hostname on both IOS and Junos devices. Additional resources were provided to learn more about using Ansible for network automation.

This document provides an overview of IT automation using Ansible. It discusses using Ansible to automate tasks across multiple servers like installing packages and copying files without needing to login to each server individually. It also covers Ansible concepts like playbooks, variables, modules, and vault for securely storing passwords. Playbooks allow defining automation jobs as code that can be run on multiple servers simultaneously in a consistent and repeatable way.
- Ansible is an automation tool that allows users to automate installation, configuration, deployment and provisioning tasks. It uses YAML files called playbooks to execute tasks in order.
- Playbooks can automate a wide range of tasks including installing and configuring services, deploying code, provisioning infrastructure, and creating machine images.
- Ansible makes automation easy through features like easy to read playbooks, thousands of reusable modules, extensive documentation, and flexibility to run against different operating systems and environments.
'Ansible Roles done right' is a talk about "Applying TDD while writing roles. Automatic tests powered by Continuous Integration + containers. Quick demo of the new ansible-container." Funny title: "When your applications don't have tests, at least your infrastructure does..."
This document provides an overview of Ansible, an open source automation tool. It discusses Ansible's core components like playbooks, roles, variables and modules. It also covers how to use Ansible for tasks like configuration management, deployment, security and continuous delivery. Finally, it mentions ways to get started with Ansible including using command line tools, the galaxy module to share roles and vault to protect sensitive data.
Monitor-Driven Development Using AnsibleItamar Hassin
Discusses an XP approach to writing Ansible scripts: Start with a failing test and write code around it to make it pass. Write monitoring code, let it drive your Ansible code to have a functioning server. I use ServerSpec and Cucumber as the monitoring code. Broader subject is that Ansible code should be treated as regular application code - use TDD, SCM, CI and pairing to create a single delivery team consisting of devs and sysadmins as a delivery team.
This document provides an introduction to using Ansible in a top-down approach. It discusses using Ansible to provision infrastructure including load balancers, application servers, and databases. It covers using ad-hoc commands and playbooks to configure systems. Playbooks can target groups of hosts, apply roles to automate common tasks, and allow variables to customize configurations. Selective execution allows running only certain parts of a playbook. Overall the document demonstrates how Ansible can be used to deploy and manage infrastructure and applications in a centralized, automated way.
Take control of your Jenkins jobs via job DSL.Łukasz Proszek
Jenkins jobs can be managed via the GUI, CLI, or script console which become unwieldy for large numbers of jobs. The Jenkins Job DSL plugin allows jobs to be defined and maintained as code using a Groovy domain-specific language. This provides benefits such as version control of job configuration, reuse of common job properties, and programmatic job creation. A seed job can be used to generate other jobs from DSL scripts checked into a code repository and run validation/testing.
Title: Ansible, best practices.
Ansible has taken a prominent place in the configmanagement world. By now many people involved in DevOps have taken a look at it, or done a first project with it. Now it is time to step back and look at quality and craftmanship. Bas Meijer, Ansible ambassador, will talk about Ansible best practices, and will show tips, tricks and examples based on several projects.
About the speaker
Bas is a systems engineer and software developer and wasted decades on latenight hacking. He is currently helping out 2 enterprises with continuous delivery and devops.
Ansible 2.0 - How to use Ansible to automate your applications in AWS.Idan Tohami
- How to use Ansible to automate your applications in AWS.
- What is Ansible and why is it different?
- How to control cloud deployments securely
- How to control AWS resources using dynamic inventory and tags.
Application construction is great with Ansible, using it for docker helps fight complexity, improves maintainability. And playbooks are portable from docker to cloud.
Ansible new paradigms for orchestrationPaolo Tonin
- Ansible provides a simple way to automate application deployment, server configuration management, and provisioning using SSH. It uses YAML files called playbooks to define tasks that are executed across multiple servers.
- Playbooks allow users to define infrastructure as code and configure servers in an idempotent way. They contain ordered lists of tasks that can install packages, copy files, start services, and more using simple YAML syntax.
- Ansible is agentless and communicates to servers over SSH, requiring only Python to be installed on managed nodes. It has a wide range of core modules and supports provisioning on cloud platforms like AWS.
Ansible is an open source automation platform, written in Python, that can be used for configuration-management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task-execution, multinode orchestration and so on. This talk is an introduction to Ansible for beginners, including tips like how to use containers to mimic multiple machines while iteratively automating some tasks or testing.
Ansible for beginners...?
This presentation shows Ansible can not only Provisioning but also orchestration like capistrano or fabric.
Module is super easy to create by not only Python like shell, Ruby and so on.
Ansible is tool for Configuration Management. The big difference to Chef and Puppet is, that Ansible doesn't need a Master and doesn't need a special client on the servers. It works completely via SSH and the configuration is done in Yaml.
These slides give a short introduction & motivation for Ansible.

In laymen's term, this is a file system that realizes hot and cold data identification, moving cold data to secondary storage (dropbox here), retrieving cold data from secondary storage as an essential activity.
In this project we implemented this file system and handled all the general and specific cases to allow seamless transfer of data from hot to cold and cold to hot.
Ansible 2.0 introduced several new features including dynamic includes, improved error reporting with suggested fixes, and new execution strategies. It also included breaking changes such as requiring tags on included tasks and changes to backslash escaping. The document provides an overview of key new features in Ansible 2.0 including task blocks, dynamic includes, error reporting improvements, and the new execution strategies.
This document provides an introduction and overview of Ansible, including its main features, installation process, inventory file configuration, ad-hoc command execution, playbook usage, roles, variables, and conditions. Ansible is an automation tool that can configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate more complex IT workloads. It uses SSH and does not require installing any agents on remote systems. Playbooks allow defining entire deployment processes as code for multi-machine orchestration.
Testing Ansible with Jenkins and DockerDennis Rowe
This document discusses using Jenkins and Docker to test Ansible code. It describes two approaches: the first uses Jenkins plugins to build a Docker image and run tests in a container, while the second builds and tests directly with Docker without plugins. The key steps are to create Jenkins jobs to build an image with the Ansible code and test playbooks, run the test playbook in a container, and verify the results. Benefits of this approach include fast test cycles and reproducible environments.
- The document provides information on using Ansible to manage network device configurations including Juniper devices. It discusses using modules like junos_get_config to backup configurations, templates to generate configurations, and junos_install_config to deploy them. It also covers using Ansible to manage users on Linux systems.

Consolidate MySQL Shards Into Amazon Aurora Using AWS Database Migration Serv...Amazon Web Services
If you’re running a MySQL database at scale, there’s a good chance you’re sharding your database deployment. Sharding is a useful way to increase the scale of your deployment, but it has drawbacks like higher costs, high administration overheard and lower elasticity. It’s harder to grow or shrink a sharded database deployment to match your traffic patterns. In this session, we will discuss and demonstrate how to use AWS Database Migration Service to consolidate multiple MySQL shards into an Amazon Aurora cluster to reduce cost, improve elasticity and make it easier to manage your database.
Learning Objectives:
Learn how to scale your MySQL database at reduced cost and higher elasticity, by consolidating multiple shards into one Amazon Aurora cluster.
In this second part, we'll continue the Spark's review and introducing SparkSQL which allows to use data frames in Python, Java, and Scala; read and write data in a variety of structured formats; and query Big Data with SQL.
Created at the University of Berkeley in California, Apache Spark combines a distributed computing system through computer clusters with a simple and elegant way of writing programs. Spark is considered the first open source software that makes distribution programming really accessible to data scientists. Here you can find an introduction and basic concepts.
Ansible can be used to summarize documents in 3 sentences or less:
1) The document provides tips and tricks for using Ansible for tasks like automation, orchestration, and distributed batch execution across multiple hosts.
2) It also demonstrates how Ansible can be used for auditing changes to files and system configuration over time through plugins, callbacks, and other extensions.
3) Additionally, the document shows how Ansible can be customized and expanded through techniques like abstracting packages and configurations, creating custom modules, and executing tasks in a more programmatic way.
This document provides instructions for deploying Spark in high availability (HA) mode using Ansible on OpenStack. It begins with an overview of using the OpenStack client and Ansible for infrastructure automation. It then demonstrates hands-on use of the OpenStack client to create and manage resources. The document introduces Ansible concepts like playbooks, modules, roles and Galaxy before explaining how to deploy Spark in HA mode using Ansible roles and providing a link to example code.

It clones the neural-api GitHub repository, installs dependencies like FPC and Lazarus, builds and trains a simple image classifier on the CIFAR-10 dataset, and exports the trained model weights and training logs. The process demonstrates how to leverage Google Colab's GPUs to train deep learning models using Lazarus and Pascal.
Will presented on using Pyinstaller and introducing Pwnstaller, a tool he created to dynamically generate unique Python payload executables. Pyinstaller packages Python scripts into standalone executables but its loader binaries could be detected by antivirus. Pwnstaller obfuscates and recompiles the Pyinstaller loader source each time to avoid static signatures. It has been integrated into Veil-Evasion so Python payloads benefit from dynamically generated unique loaders that are harder for antivirus to detect.
Ansible is an automation tool that allows users to deploy applications, manage systems, and simplify complexity through automation without using scripts or custom code. It leverages SSH and requires no agents to be installed on remote systems. Ansible describes infrastructure in a language that is both machine- and human-friendly and allows users to instantly manage new remote machines without bootstrapping. Playbooks can be used to describe deployment and configuration policies across multiple systems.
This document summarizes a presentation on evading antivirus detection. It discusses how antivirus has gotten better at detecting old techniques, and introduces newer tools and methods for generating payloads that can bypass antivirus software, including Veil, Hyperion, and writing your own custom stagers and payloads. It also recommends building your own antivirus lab to reliably test new payloads before deployment.
This article will help you fetch details about the Ubuntu based AWS EC2 instance. You need to deploy the Python (2.7) based REST Services in Apache webserver. The core of application is Python DJango framework, which uses a custom virtual environment (vitualenv). The Apache uses mod_wsgi for connecting the WSGI application and mod_sec for security purposes.
Deploying Django with Apache and mod_wsgi is a method to get Django into production. mod_wsgi is an Apache module which is supposed to host any Python WSGI application, which includes Django. Django can work with any version of Apache that supports mod_wsgi.
Read the article further, to understand the step-by-step deployment process.
Ubuntu Server is lean, fast and powerful. Its services are reliable, predictable and economical. It is the perfect base on which you can build your instances. Django is a web framework which is written in Python. One can easily guess that everything, in Django, is also done in Python. Django was developed to simplify the creation of database driven sites. The best feature in Django is that it, probably, is the fastest website framework to create a fully functioning website.
ApacheCon NA 2010 - Developing Composite Apps for the Cloud with Apache TuscanyJean-Sebastien Delfino
This document discusses developing composite applications for the cloud using Apache Tuscany. It provides an overview of cloud computing goals and challenges, and how the Service Component Architecture (SCA) aims to address these challenges. Specifically, SCA abstracts out technical APIs and protocols to allow focusing on business logic. Apache Tuscany is an open source SCA implementation that can help assemble, wire, and rewire components in the cloud. The document demonstrates rewiring components in a Tuscany application deployed to Amazon EC2.
MicroPython is an implementation of Python 3 optimized to run on microcontrollers. It includes a small subset of the Python standard libraries and exposes low-level hardware modules.

It supports an interactive prompt, arithmetic, and programming concepts like lists and generators. Users can interact with MicroPython boards via serial connection, WebREPL over WiFi, or emulator. Common uses include programming LEDs and sensors for IoT applications.
BKK16-406 Ubuntu Core - a snappy platform for Embedded, IoT and 96boards!Linaro
During first part of this session, Alexander will give a technology perspective on the motivation, features and possibilities that Ubuntu's latest rendition has to offer for developers and product makers of smart embedded and IoT devices.
Alexander will walk the audience through the building blocks and core ingredients that make up a snappy solution and will show how snappy unifies concepts found in traditional binary distribution with those observed in modern consumer grade Linux products to make a platform for building modern, smart IoT device products.
During the second half of this session Ricardo Mendoza, lead architect behind snappy Ubuntu Core, will showcase snappy Ubuntu Core running on the 96boards Dragonboard 410c. The showcase will include a bottom-to-top image creation demo taking building blocks from the Ubuntu Core online store in real time, followed by a deployment of the image on the Dragonboard hardware, then a demo of available snaps for the platform.
In his part of the presentation, Ricardo will illustrate how well aligned the concepts behind 96boards and snappy Ubuntu Core are, to show how hand in hand they can become a very versatile platform for all IoT and embedded device manufacturers to quickly bring their products to market and benefit from an expanding ecosystem of applications through the Ubuntu Store.
The document provides an overview of a talk given by Stephen Wallace on using Puppet for system administrators. The talk introduces Puppet as a tool to help system administrators achieve goals like availability, scalability, predictability and reducing workload. It addresses common concerns that system administrators have with Puppet, such as the need to learn programming. The talk demonstrates how Puppet can be used in a simple way and provides references for further learning.

Bob McWhirter is a JBoss Fellow and Chief Architect of Middleware Cloud Computing. He founded The Codehaus, Drools, and TorqueBox. The document discusses BoxGrinder, a tool that can create virtual machine appliances from definition files in order to simplify deploying software to infrastructure platforms like Amazon EC2 or VMware. It describes how BoxGrinder supports both "baking" and "frying" approaches to creating VMs and walks through an example of using BoxGrinder to build a JBoss application server appliance.
HOW TO DEAL WITH BLOCKING CODE WITHIN ASYNCIO EVENT LOOPMykola Novik
The document discusses various approaches for dealing with blocking code within the asyncio event loop:
1. Check if a compatible asyncio library exists
2. Check if a REST API is available to avoid blocking
3. Check if there is a simple text or binary protocol that can be implemented without blocking
4. Check if there is an existing synchronous Python client that can be adapted
5. Use a thread pool executor to run blocking code in separate threads to avoid blocking the event loop
For filesystem and CPU intensive operations, the document recommends using a thread pool executor due to OS limitations on asynchronous filesystem access. The aiofiles library provides an asynchronous filesystem wrapper that uses threads in the background.
Ansible is a Configuration Management System that is very simple to use, because of its straightforward and robust model for managing automation and it’s low barrier to entry for ease of use in both development and production.
During OpenStack development, Ansible can be used in conjunction with Vagrant and Devstack to manage complex, multi-node development environments with relative ease.
In this presentation, Juergen Brendel and David Lapsley review Ansible and provide some sample playbooks to get developers up and running quickly. They also describes how to use Ansible, Vagrant, Devstack, and OpenStack to accelerate OpenStack development cycles.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

Simple parallel execution
Command-line example
ansible all -m ping -i ansible_hosts
all Ansible works against multiple systems in your infrastructure
at the same time. It does this by selecting portions of
systems listed in the inventory file. “all” is a special keyword
to work with all the hosts at the same time.
-m accepts a correct module name (e.g., “ping”).
-i The name of the inventory file.

[webservers]
localhost
one.example.com
[dbservers]
one.example.com
two.example.com
three.example.com
In brackets are group names, used to group and classifying systems. It is
OK to put systems in more than one group.

Ansible programming
Playbooks
Playbooks are the configuration, deployment, and orchestration
language.
They can describe a set of connected actions in a general IT process.
If modules are the tools, playbooks are your design plans.
Playbooks are expressed in YAML format and have a minimal syntax
Tries not to be a programming language, but a model of a
configuration or a process.
Each playbook is composed of one or more ‘plays’ in a list.
While it is possible to write a playbook in one very large file, eventually
you’ll want to reuse components (roles, more later)

Variables and Facts
Variables
Variables should always start with a letter.
Variables can be defined in many places (pros & cons..)
in inventory, playbook, include, command line
priority rules are… involved.
Facts
A type of variable that are discovered at a run time, not set by the
user. Very useful for dynamic configuration
Facts are returned by the setup module, which is executed at the
beginning of a playbook by default and made available as variables.
the hostname of the system: {{ ansible_hostname }}

Roles and Include Actions
A playbook can includes a role:
- hosts: webservers
vars:
http_port: 80
remote_user: root
roles:
- webservers
Roles allow the automatic loading the definitions of variables, tasks,
templates, handlers, given a standard layout. Grouping content by roles
allows easy sharing of playbooks too.

Ansible and the Cloud
Ansible and Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Other Clouds
Other Cloud providers are supported too, but AWS is king…
AWS Control
Ansible contains many modules for controlling AWS services. All of the
modules require recent versions of boto. You need this Python module
installed on your control machine.
pip install boto
Boto is a Python interface to AWS API, and allows dynamic inventory.

Ansible and AWS security
To access AWS services one needs a set of credentials:
ssh key
access_id
secret_key
Set your access_id and secret_key in a “vars” file, then source it:
export BOTO_CONFIG=/path/boto.conf
export EC2_INI_PATH=/path/ec2.ini
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=EXAMPLEKEY
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=ThisIsAnExample
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=region

Cloudformation: one-shot AWS infrastructure
AWS Cloudformation is a service to easily and repeatably provision
an AWS infrastructure (instances, VPCs, security groups…).
The infrastructure objects and relations are modeled in a JSON file
called “template”.
Using the template a “stack” is instantiated. A “stack” is “a
collection of AWS resources you create and delete as a single unit.”
N.B.notice the “delete”: think “immutable infrastructure”…

Launching stacks with Ansible
The Ansible “cloudformation” module launches a Cloudformation stack.
Once the stack template is created, an Ansible task can provision it:
- cloudformation:
aws_access_key: "{{ AwsAccessKey }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ AwsSecretKey }}"
stack_name: "{{ CloudFormationStackName }}"
state: present
region: "{{ AwsRegion }}"
disable_rollback: false
template_url: "https://s3-{{ AwsRegion }}.amazonaws.com/om
register: stack
NOTE: the returning “stack” variable let us to retrieve information about
the resources instantiated in order to perform other actions on them.

Pythonic template by Trophospere
The JSON template can grow to be really messy. A Python library called
Troposphere may make the cloudformation model description easier to
manage
>>> from troposphere import Ref, Template
>>> import troposphere.ec2 as ec2
>>> t = Template()
>>> instance = ec2.Instance("myinstance")
>>> instance.ImageId = "ami-951945d0"
>>> instance.InstanceType = "t1.micro"
>>> t.add_resource(instance)
<troposphere.ec2.Instance object at 0x101bf3390>
>>> print(t.to_json())
{
"Resources": {
"myinstance": {
"Properties": {Ivan Rossi (BioDec.com) Ansible: automazione IT vocata al Cloud Pycon sette, 2016-04-16 38 / 40
