Key points from the session:-

-       Automation helps us to automate repeatable tasks without compromising compliance.

-       We can use Ansible to Automate Infrastructure, configure web server, configure database server, Provision instance on cloud, setting up of VPC, launching cluster services, orchestration, security and many other fields.

-       Scaling is required, because when a failure occurs in a server which provides some service to the client there should be another system which will provide the same service and client doesn't has to face any issue.

-       ansible tower provide us a WebUI to use Ansible for automation. with the help of ansible tower, we can also do multi execution of ansible-playbook. Creation of workflows and API integration are some other use case of ansible tower.

-       In ansible tower, job templates are like playbook which are used to execute same job many times.

-        We can integrate Ansible tower to various messaging platforms like slack by designing workflow and giving the permission in the tower which will come as a notification in the slack.

-       Use of Credentials : when we do the tasks of provisioning such as AWS Cloud, Oracle Cloud, etc. So, we just need to fill the Credentials field in the Ansible Tower that’s it. And we are ready to go with the tasks.

It was an awesome session, in which i had gained a brief knowledge of "industry use cases of Ansible". I wish to attend more session like that in the future.
