#Podcast Summary – “LHS Episode 307: #Ansible Deep Dive”

Recently, I was a guest of the Linux In The Ham Shack Podcast (LHS), talking about Ansible.

The episode I recorded was: LHS Episode #307: Ansible Deep Dive

About a year ago, Bill (NE4RD) and Russ (K5TUX) were talking about Ansible, and I spotted a couple of… maybe misunderstandings, maybe mistakes, or perhaps just where they misspoke about it? Whatever it was at the time, I offered to talk about Ansible, and then scheduling became a major issue. We tried to meet up online a few times over the year and this was the first opportunity I had to actually talk to them.

In this conversation, I talk about what Ansible is and how it works. I go into quite a bit of depth on how you would install packages, make file changes, and then explain how to use, obtain and create Ansible Roles. I also go into Handlers, local and remote Inventories, Ansible Tower and AWX.

When I was talking about Ansible playbooks and tasks, particularly towards the beginning of the podcast, I was looking at the code samples I put together for the Admin Admin Podcast Deep Dive into Ansible. The custom OpenStack modules I referenced in the show were written by my friend and colleague, Nick Cross.

I get a bit of stick for my pronunciation of Inventories, which is … fun :) As usual, I “Um” and “Ah” quite a bit. It becomes exceptional apparent how much work Dave Lee does for me in my usual Admin Admin Podcast!
