DevOps workflows with Ansible Engine/Tower

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Shows Ansible Engine used to provision EC2 instances, run roles and playbooks (with Molecule tests) and Ansible Tower used to run those playbooks as a service with RBAC, project/inventory/credential objects, workflows and callbacks. Demonstrates a CI trigger that updates a project, provisions EC2, updates inventory and deploys an app with rollback and health checks — all working end to end. Describes scaling via job slicing (1000 servers → 10 slices), isolated nodes and clustered instance groups, and log export to ELK/Splunk.
