The Cloudcast - #95 - Ansible - Next Generation DevOps Tools



Links

Topic 1 – Michael, you’ve got a very interesting background.  First off, you’re a Raleigh person, not a Silicon Valley guy.  You “grew up” at Red Hat and prior to Ansible you created Cobbler and even have some patents to your name in this space. Give everyone a little background.


Topic 2 - For those that aren’t familiar with Cobbler, what is it and why did you invent it?


Topic 3 – Let’s move on to Ansible, I attended your session today (my impressions).  What is Ansible and why AnsibleWorks?  Probably the first question you get, why Ansible and not Puppet/Chef?  Seems to be Configuration Management, App Delivery & CI (Continuous Integration or Delivery) all in one? Infrastructure as code - rPath and Bronto?  What is AnsibleWorks AWX?


Topic 4 – You were just on FLOSS Weekly and you are speaking here at OSCON, The product is under a GPL license.  does that differentiate you in the market?


Topic 5 - Technical Details - No Agent, talks SSH and can be written in anything that returns JSON?

The Cloudcast - Eps.22 - "Live From CA World With Andi Mann" + Show Notes

Date: November 13, 2011
Guest: Andi Mann, VP of Strategic Solutions @ CA Technologies (Blog: http://pleasediscuss.com/andimann/ & Twitter: http://twitter.com/andimann)





Q: Our “Big Bosses” just co-presented at the Opening keynote (CA Technologies CEO Bill McCracken, Michael Capellas for VCE,  and Vivek Kundra, the first CIO of the U.S. federal government), What did you think and what can we expect at CA World this week?
Q: VCE and CA announced a partnership earlier this year, what are some of the highlights of the program?

Q: What are your thoughts on public, private, hybrid and if a customer is new to the environment, where do they start?
Q: Earlier this year you co-authored Visible Ops Private Cloud: From Virtualization to Private Cloud in 4 Practical Steps.  Tell us a little about the book and the feedback you’ve received to date.  You mention it is a book for “doers” and not just “thinkers”, What did you mean by that?
Q: You repeatedly mention, Design Services, Not Systems!

Q: I have to mention the term Virtual Stall, Steve Kaplan at INX (now Presidio) gives you credit for the phrase in one of our first episodes.  Do you still see Virtual Stall?
