Moin,
Iām Anton or therojam, (which is my social handle). Since about 4ā5 years, I have been using Ansible to set up infrastructure configurations for others, I also used it to build a docker host or set up a full typo server. Either itās on an on prem VMware cluster, Hetzner.cloud or AWS EC2 instances. Ansible is my very best friend to configure Linux machines after provisioning with other things.
Since yesterday, I organize together with some other nice guys the Ansible meetup Berlin. (more to come, as in itās ready when itās ready)
Youāll find some of my code at GitHub or at my GitLab account.

Iāve done a bit of work with EDA w/ prometheus using the alertmanager source plugin. Happy to help.
I have a project that I use to implement some observability related integrations with EDA. Within this project, I have a directory for prometheus that stands up a podman-compose stack: https://github.com/cloin/swingsight_metrics/tree/main/prometheus
Thereās also a video that I recorded that runs through this scenario, albeit with Datadog, but the same scenario can be run using that prometheus stack linked above.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the reach out, all I can say is: wowā¦ this is amazing!
I can def benefit from learning from your git, so what I have been trying to do for the past 8 hours is get eda to trigger a play book from our Ansible node from alert manager that is hosting prometheus, to check if certain hosts have dropped mount pointsā¦its been a struggle for 8 hoursā¦nearly got it rightā¦
Iām Todd. I started using Ansible in early 2017, helping my team migrate ~150 servers across a dozen or so service lines from another configuration management tool to Ansible. This is in a university IT setting where I started as an undergraduate in 1978 (using punch cards) and never left.
I have always enjoyed making my computers do interesting things, and helping other people to do interesting things with theirs. Ansible is a multiplier for exactly that. Iām so looking forward to learning from and sharing solutions to interesting challenges on this forum. Very happy to be here.

I am Yule a reasonably new Red Hatter from Australia.
I grew up in Germany and moved to OZ more than 10 years ago.
I am very very new to Ansible and currently going through the RHCE course as well as seeing a lot of Ansible around my current workplace.
(any tips on how to learn and experience Ansible best?)
When I am not working, I like to crochet, listen to way too much music , play World of Warcraft, or be a couch potato with my 3 pugs.
P.S. looking forward to browsing the forum, meeting lots of amazing people and hopefully one day be able to help with Ansible things too!

Hi folks!
Iām Jeff van Pelt from the Netherlands, also known as Thulium-Drake on Github, Iām mostly an Ansible user, but sometimes youāll find my name on some modules 
(community.general.proxmox inventory and some modules in theforeman.foreman, even though 99% of the magic is done by the Foreman team, I just wield their amazing code )
Apart from that Iām of the conviction where āIf itās not in Ansible (code), it doesnāt existā and try to apply as much as I can in my daily work. And my focus is building (automated) Enterprise infrastructure with the āstandardā RH product portfolio, but also still learning new things everyday!
Also @gwmngilfen @cybette thanks again for the wonderful time in Ghent earlier this year! (and all of those whom I canāt mention here due to limits ).

Hi, Iām Will Thames, long term user of and contributor to ansible, although my contributions have lessened as the bits I used have become incredibly stable.
Among other things I wrote ansible-lint (now managed by ansible) and ansible-inventory-grapher and have done a lot of work on the AWS modules (until about 2018) and Kubernetes modules (from about 2018).
I recently migrated a 2018 version of AWX to a 2023 version without loss of data, and have been doing a lot to get it managed under helm rather than an operator.
Iāve been to ansiblefest 2016(?) in London, 2017 in San Francisco and 2018 in Austin, maybe Iāll get to another in the future if I have things worth listening to!
