Standardize complex IT with ansible i.e. SAP HANA
summary
Shows how Ansible roles replace a messy Excel + Puppet process to design, build and automate dev/QA/prod SAP HANA environments, splitting OS preconfigure and HANA install into reusable roles, variables and tests. Converts a previous quick Puppet deployment (24 nodes in ~4 hours) into a repeatable pipeline that spins fresh cloud test systems, validates against SAP notes, and already provisions 47 SAP HANA instances (2 TB memory class) for delivery. Works end-to-end with CI test runs, but cluster failover and full idempotent remediation remain in active development.
