Next-Gen Ansible Development Tools in Windows, macOS or Linux!

By Leo Gallego (aka @Leo)

In this session, we’ll show you how to speed up your automation content creation using the all-new Ansible Development Tools, now available on any OS—Windows, macOS, or Linux! We’ll introduce a streamlined, Dev Container approach for VS Code that accelerates your workflow—from installing all the tools to initializing a collection, linting, testing with Molecule, and deploying with ansible-navigator and ansible-builder. Whether you’re a seasoned pro looking for shortcuts or a beginner wanting to build a solid foundation, you’ll discover new ways and best practices to develop and deploy Ansible content faster than ever.

A Love Letter to Ansible Core 2.19

by Matt Davis (aka @nitzmahone )

Nervous about upgrading to Ansible Core 2.19? Learn how the revamped template engine and error handling in Ansible’s latest release will make your life easier from a self-proclaimed Ansible lover.

Enhanced Module Debugging with Ansible

by Jordan Borean (aka @jborean)

This session will explore the new debugging capabilities for Ansible modules, covering Python support introduced in 2.19 and upcoming PowerShell support in 2.20 and beyond. We’ll walk through how these modules can be debugged directly on remote hosts without additional setup or file transfers. Attendees will see how to connect from editors like PyCharm or VS Code to step through code live, making troubleshooting faster and more intuitive.

Missed the first part. Looking forward to the video and slides! Thanks.

I think these might be the docs to the ‘Ansible Development Environment’ that was discussed?

Hi folks
Thanks to those that were able to join yesterday.
Apologies again for the audio issues with my introduction. I found the issue and we will avoid that in the future. I will re-record that section.

We will get the video processed and uploaded to YouTube, and share slides and links. Please give us a couple of weeks to get this sorted.

Links will be added to this post, and shared via News & Announcements > Newsletter once it’s done.

Please do provide feedback, so we can improve for next time.

What can we do to make the event more interactive?

  • Should we do Q&A at the end of each talk
  • Should the responses to Q&A be text or by the presenter

Here’s my responses:

  • Yes, now it was hopping from one to another like they’re in a hurry.
  • Responses by the presenter, and maybe also have an option for the person asking the question to speak to clarify the question a bit more.

The way the “Meetup” was organised looked more like a webinar. If an event is called a meetup, then I expect the ability to interact with other participants, not only by text.
