Ansible is a (GPL) IT orchestration, deployment, and config management framework that is built on Python, SSH, and YAML.
Fedora's already using it for infrastructure, this talk will focus on Ansible features from a higher level as well as go into upcoming roadmap features in Ansible 1.2 and 1.3.
We'll talk about best practices organization, language features, module development, extension, and lots more.
This talk is from Michael DeHaan -- I created the Ansible project, used to work on Fedora systems management bits for Red Hat for about four years (built Cobbler, helped build Func, some virtualization stuff along the way), and am now CTO at AnsibleWorks.
If you attend this talk, you'll not only learn how to simplify your IT infrastructure, you will also learn how to cowsay enable your DevOps.
