In this session, i learnt a lot of things about ansible and it's usecase.

some of them are :

Some points to remember:

  🌟Focus on many small tasks rather than a big complex process.

  🌟Review what others have automated.

  🌟Treat automation like software.

  🌟Think out of Box

💥Your skills should be unique and must be needed by industry.

💥Ansible tower is build on the top of ansible engine. It provides API and WebUI, role based access controler, integrate to 3rd party solution, notification.

💥Tower is used by organization to scale the automation.

💥In ansible tower, you have the option of credential. Tower has database, there our credential is securily stored. So we don't need to add user and password or use vault in ansible playbook.

💥Orchestration : Orchestration helps IT to more easily manage complex tasks and workflows. IT teams must manage many servers and applications, but doing so manually isn't a scalable strategy.

💥The most important factor in the automation is Scaling, whenever a number of systems with a number of tasks are being performed we must need to have a look about the scaling i.e. the ability of the systems to increase or decrease the performance and cost in response to change in application and system processing demands.

💥The job template in the Ansible Tower is used to provide the playbook to be used to execute the tasks /jobs and more information about it.

💥How to integrate Ansible Tower with Slack as a notification Tool. We can integrate Ansible Tower with Cloud & Notification based Applications by using the workflow visualizer under the template of workflow and we can use the so called ChatOps where we can use a notification feature and use chat applications like Slack, discord, etc. to notify others that a task has been accomplished.

💥I learnt about how to setup an ORACLE Virtual Environment that is not supported by ansible and ansible tower. 

💥If you don't have credential that's by default supported by ansible, you can create your own credential type. That's huge benefit of using ansible tower.

💥You can create multiple playbooks in ansible tower and combine them using workflow and by this you can do things more easily and simply.

Special Thanks to Vimal Daga sir and Preeti Chandak Ma’am for conducting such a great session.
