Ansible for developers
summary
Ansible is presented as a single tool that handles both server configuration and application deployment (including Java artifacts like WAR files), unlike Puppet and Chef which are less suited for regular software distribution. The talk introduces Ansible, highlights how it differs from other orchestration tools, and explains why it can be particularly useful for developers, including how to enable Continuous Deployment within a traditional corporate structure.
