The last Geek2Geek event was at Delodi in Berlin. This time we talked about Configuration Management Tools. Probably you heard about Chef and Puppet already. We had 2 talks to the new kids on the block. To Ansible and Salt.
A couple weeks ago I pushed out a tweet about Ansible and Frederic responded with an answer. He mentioned that he is using Salt Stack, but he would like to learn more about Ansible. I mentioned that we could do a Geek2Geek event to that topic and if he agrees to do the Salt talk I would do the Ansible talk. And so we did! That’s how I found the topic to this Geek2Geek event 🙂
Frederic just arrived the day before in Germany, coming in from San Francisco. He had a bit jet lag. That’s why he did the first talk about Salt.
Frederic gave us a very good overview about the architecture of Salt. You can find his slides here.
After a short break I did the Ansible talk. The special thing on Ansible is that you don’t have a Master and you don’t need to install a client on the servers. It works via SSH and the configuration is done in Yaml. Here are my slides to Ansible.
The Geek2Geek group was this time a bit smaller than last time. All together I counted 30 people. It was a good round with interesting talks afterwards.
A special thanks to our Sponsors.
