  • Data storage containers

Testing and continuous integration

  • Unit, integration and functional testing
  • Automating your testing using GitHub and Travis CI

Preparing for Ansible back at work

  • Real-world use case: Using Ansible to automate CM and application pipelines through continuous integration, release, deployment and operations
  • We’ll review your own environments and processes and evaluate how to best integrate Ansible’s configuration management for your own needs
