It’s been a long time, so first apologies for being out of pocket for some time. It’s been a very busy past few months with work and family. However, I’m back and I wanted to start off with a video demo that I created for the Red Hat 2018 Summit in San Francisco in May.
At the conference, IAS decided to get a booth to meet with Red Hat customers and represent both Red Hat and NetApp. We decided that the best way to show off our experience with the two partners was to create a simple demonstration that might be of interest to attendees. Robert Nelson, another IAS engineer, and I put something together that we’re both proud of. We chose to make a demo of how Ansible could be used to automate the deployment of Amazon EC2 instances, make some modifications, and then leverage a NetApp AWS instance to use our once on-premise data and use it on our newly deployed AWS instances.
Considering that Robert and I had never used Ansible, it was a great learning experience and we were also get some real hands on experience with the NetApp Cloud Manager as well. We had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and got a decent amount of positive feedback from customers at the conference. I wanted to make sure others got to see the demo, so I did a quick recording of the demonstration and posted it here.
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for the cool demo.
Can you please post your ansible playbooks you are using in this demo?
Will do. I’ll post them this week. And thanks for checking out the video!
