I found this useful except unless I dozed off they gave no idea what hardware or amount of virtual resource the control nodes were running on ... after tell us how critical this is to scalability since everything runs locally.
Great session.. Dear Ansible Team, please add more module for Huawei devices specially for Ne9000, NE40, AR2240, NE05E, huawei switches etc... now only support cloud engine series only...
Hi I have installed Ansible but when i am try to ping Cisco router and i Get an error "Keyboard-Interactive, Password" Despite the fact i have made changes to Ansible config for "host_key_checking = False". I am also able to the do ssh from ansible master machine. Please advice. Thank you
Hi - we recommend you reach out to any of the monitored services like irc, the google forums, or github for more help. The team can help you diagnose the issue that way!
Ansible is nice if all those systems are in the cloud or the same network. But when you have a windows client which needs to be managed behind a firewall which you can't control like a virtual desktop in the cloud or a windows machine of an employee in home office. Now that common scenario is not nearly covered by ansible. Yeah there is ... ... pull, which doesn't work with many of the windows modules ... Install OpenSSH, same issue like with pull and in addition you add another piece which can fail etc. ... VPN which destroys your connection to the cloud desktop, especially if you have to use a specific software to connect to the desktop. ... Using another crappy methods to punch holes into a firewall. Sry but I can't switch away from salt stack to ansible if that scenario isn't fully supported
If you are going to teach network engineers how to code then why would you make them depend on a stupid tool Ansible? Learn PYTHON, YANG, NETCONF and RESTCONF and interact with any device via SSH, end of story.

You may take a look at another automation called NAA by Ironwood Networks which don't need to depend on any vendor module. www.ironwoodnetworks.com
Great Session!
Hello, someone can share the slideshow please ? Thanks !

it's been a year, but i hope you've found the answer. that error indicates an issue with the password.
Probably need to enable root login in /etc/ssh/sshd_confg permitrootlogin yes?
Good to know. Thanks!

and it is open source

Ansible uses existing syntax(shell, powershell, etc) and simply makes it easy to run the commands you already know on multiple machines via ssh.
That's the point - using Ansible means you don't need to know 5 different languages.
