I love freeloaders. So freeload my book, please! No, seriously, grab a free copy and learn to automate with Ansible! https://leanpub.com/ansible-for-devops/c/CTVMPCbEeXd3

The book's text is even open source (CC BY-SA), so if you wanna republish it and make money on it, be my guest!

Ansible for DevOps

Learn how to use Ansible for infrastructure orchestration, provisioning, and application deployment.

@geerlingguy I have seen so many of your Ansible modules being used in Open edX's deployment configuration repository. Thanks a lot for your work.

I recently set up a small cluster of 3 servers for a client and was caught between using Ansible later or running everything upfront using user-data scripts. Tools like Hashicorp packer seems to be built for with the second scenario is mind. Share some thoughts on this trend of using images and VMs as ephemeral resources rather than the old practice of setting up and managing the same servers for a period of time. No pressure, if you can't find the time to respond. :)
