Playtime with configuration: from script to galaxy
summary
Chronicles migration from brittle ssh+shell scripts to Ansible playbooks, showing a live demo that first runs scripts via the script module then rewrites tasks with package, service, template, copy modules to achieve idempotence; organizes work into reusable roles and site.yaml includes and pulls community roles from Ansible Galaxy (Jeff Geerling recommended). Shows AWX setup to sync inventory from Git, run job templates and view JSON output — demos all succeed and reruns report no changes.
