Automating my Homelab with Ansible

Подробнее о видео

Homelabs can be great fun. But how do you take care of device configuration, backups, testing, patching, upgrades, and hardware replacement?

Well, I use Ansible wherever I can to make sure the boring parts of homelab ownership are automated. In this presentation, originally delivered at AnsibleFest 2022 in Chicago, I'll give a tour of my homelab and talk about how I automate parts of my Homelab using Ansible.
