Anyone wanting to play around with Ansible should really check out Vagrant too. Quickly spin up Vagrant instances (VirtualBox, etc VMs) in seconds to test things. I use Vagrant heavily to test puppet manifests/modules, and have thrown together several screenscasts about Vagrant @ http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/4-vagrant http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/4-vagrant and one about Learning Puppet with Vagrant @ http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/8-learning-puppet-with-vagrant http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/8-learning-puppet-with-vag... but you can do the same things with Ansible.
See Vagrant & Ansible docs @ http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/ansible.html http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/ansible.html
- bscofield 13y ago(Post author here) Absolutely -- I developed my entire setup in Vagrant. It was fantastic, especially in the early stages where I'd just share my playbook folder into the guest machine and run them locally.
- jwn 13y agoAgreed, I set up our dev team on Vagrant+Ansible+Github to ensure that we all have identical development deployment environments. Now pushing out configuration changes is as simple as doing a git push and telling everyone to pull and re-deploy their dev hosts.
