At NIST we developed a pretty nice server provisioning service. It provisions Windows and Linux machines, and it provisions to VMware and AWS. I've been asked by Red Hat if I would be interested in presenting at AnsibleFest. Is this something people would be interested in seeing?

Our workflow is entirely parameter driven and coded in a way that permits us to add more cloud service providers and support new operating systems and server types.

Conceptual Workflow w/ requests originating in ServiceNow and a separate “Image Factory” project maintaining our provisioning AMIs and VMware templates.
