Ansible engineering and operations should be treated as distinct disciplines to promote high-quality, maintainable automation. This separation ensures that engineering focuses on building scalable, reusable code, while operations handles deployment, monitoring, and day-to-day execution.
Example of an Ansible Configuration File ansible.cfg that is used on c2d-xtop to connect to the private Ansible Automation Hub based on Galaxy NG running on c2d-galaxy1.
At the heart of modern IT practices, automation is key to unlocking the full potential of DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). It goes beyond simply streamlining tasks; it’s the cornerstone that ensures efficiency, scalability, and resilience within any IT ecosystem.
