Building Reproducible System Setups with FreeBSD and Ansible - Albert Dengg - EuroBSDcon 2023
Albert Dengg: Building reproducible system setups with FreeBSD and ansible
Ansible is a relatively simple toolkit for system automation and configuration management/provisioning.
In combination with FreeBSD it can be used to build a reproducible setup for your systems in line with buzzwords like "Infrastructure as Code".
Regardless if you need a large number of systems managed or if you just need to be able to reproduce your setups, ansible can help you and has a compAnsible is a relatively simple toolkit for system automation and configuration management/provisioning.
In combination with FreeBSD it can be used to build a reproducible setup for your systems in line with buzzwords like "Infrastructure as Code".
Regardless if you need a large number of systems managed or if you just need to be able to reproduce your setups, ansible can help you and has a comparativly low entry hurdle while still allowing more complex actions.
This session will show the challenges of writing idempotent, reproducible playbooks that can be used to create systems that behave the same way as well as to check if the system is in the state you expect it to be in a lab environment and will assume at least basic knowledge of ansible.
Albert Dengg:
I'm currently working mostly as a sysadmin running a variety of systems and infrastructure, both in my professional role as running infrastructure for NGOs in my free time. My first UNIX system was some weird linux distriution when i was still in school back in 1997 and since then have used some free UNIX version almost all the time both privately and when building systems and infrastructure professionally.
