I want to introduce myself. I’m Eric Palmer from the University of Richmond. I am a developer and development manager (php, Java, groovy, …) and not a system admin.
I’m working with several other people to create ansible playbooks/scripts to install and configure eXist-db (an open source XML database) onto aws ec2 instances. We will also create monitoring and fact gathering playbooks or scripts once the install ones are working.
I’ve played with anisble for like 10 mins. I use a mac os x for my development system and we use the standard 64bit amazon linux ec2 instances.
We will put all of our work in github.

Oh I know zero python… I hope that won’t be a limitation.
I am so looking forward to working with Ansible.
