Continuing the theme from the previous thread, let’s keep going. Newcomers to the community, here’s your space to say hi! Welcome!
Oh fun! I get to be the first in the 2024 edition!
Hi all, I’m Nathan. I think like many people I made the slow transition from helpdesk to sysadmin and now work at a small medical research laboratory at a university in Canada. We make heavy use of ansible, and I figured it’d be nice to get a sense of the social workings of the tool!

Hi! My name is Artem. Right now, I’m in the middle of changing careers. I’m a beginner user of Ansible, hoping to find a community here that is more welcoming to questions from new users than certain other IT forums. Currently struggling with setting up AWS dynamic inventory for an otherwise simple exercise, will be asking specific questions later.

Once again, the idea that “all organisations are tech organisations now” is pushed even further than I thought - very cool to think we’re helping with medical care!

Hello, all! My name is Jim Campbell, and I work as a Linux Engineer in Chicago. I work with Ansible every day. I’ll probably mostly be discussing AWX things and will be reading up on what people are working on and seeing if I can answer a random question or two.
I’m glad this forum is here. Cheers.

I’m Stephen B. Johnson from Madison, Wisconsin. I started looking at Ansible for managing some of my servers and getting some thoughts for how we can use it for our ISP infrastructure as we have 1000s of sites with 1000s or routers and probably almost 10k switches and associated equipment.
I’ve been an Electrical Engineer for 28 years (Purdue BSEE) and have a background in hardware, software, electronics, and systems. I’ve designed/worked on missile systems, satellite systems, embedded systems (VME, cPCI, and ATCA related open systems), video platforms (IPTV, CATV, and CDN), telecom ISP networks and I program in the appropriate languages ranging from (low level to higher) assembly, C, C++, Perl, and Python. The programming language selection is just the appropriate tool for the task.
Ansible would simply be a different tool to solve a different task.
It doesn’t really seem like it has been almost 30 years since I downloaded one of the first Linux “distributions” that Linus made available. Although the download over my 9600 baud modem seemed to take forever. But hey - it gave me a bash shell with gcc and I was rocking… The early versions used the highly cryptic authentication root:toor – as a history lesson.
