We have receive many great proposals and here are the ones we’ve selected to share with you on Ansible Community Day in Berlin! (Full agenda with schedule and talk details coming soon!)

Presentations in alphabetical order:

## AaaS - Automation as a Service

How to offer an automation platform shared by multiple teams on the basis of Ansible Automation Platform (AAP). What are the requirements to consider and how to address them.

_Presenters: Eric Lavarde and Moritz Schoenwetter_

## Ansible Community Strategy 2023: The Half-Year Update

In February, at ConfigManagementCamp, we laid out our vision for the things we need to improve on in the Ansible community. Let’s discuss how that’s going!

_Presenter: Greg Sutcliffe: @gwmngilfen_

## Ansible in a Devcontainer: entire arista.avd ecosystem in a sealed bottle

Building a stable Ansible environment can be a challenge. We’ll focus on a network automation case: deploying an EVPN fabric with arista.avd collection inside a Devcontainer. The improved user experience can be extended to other Ansible collections and use cases. This session includes a demo.

_Presenters: Petr Ankudinov and Patrick Mathy_

## Ansible - The hard way

Ansible is all about simple IT automation, unless it isn’t.

Sometimes, you really need to walk the extra mile to make something work with Ansible. Let’s investigate some of these situations and how you can approach them. You might think of rollbacks, nested loops or side effect handling.

_Presenter: Daniel Schier_

## Automation Good Practices

The Good Practices for Ansible (GPA) is a worldwide initiative by the Red Hat Automation Community of Practice. Many hours of automation experts from different Red Hat organizations have flown into it. And all this massive experience is open to use by anybody.

I don’t know if it was asked before, but is there any plan to stream presentations for those who can’t physically be there 😢 ?

Also, will talks be recorded ?
