Hi,

We are evaluating how to deploy a test infrastructure for our ansible playbooks and roles, ideally integrated with our internal Gitlab instance. Does anyone in the list has any advice based in your experience?

I am reading about Molecule ([http://molecule.readthedocs.io](http://molecule.readthedocs.io)) and KitchenCI ([http://kitchen.ci/](http://kitchen.ci/)). Do you recommend any other tool? Is anyone using Gitlab’s CI for ansible testing? [https://about.gitlab.com/features/gitlab-ci-cd/](https://about.gitlab.com/features/gitlab-ci-cd/)

Any recommendations or links to docs about this topic would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,  
Pablo.
