Automate an Observable Runtime with HashiCorp and Ansible
summary
An opinionated Ansible playbook deploys a multi-node Nomad + Consul runtime with Traefik ingress, Grafana, and an observability stack wired so Prometheus and Promtail read scrape configs from the Consul catalog and tags. It targets ARM and Intel (Raspberry Pi cluster and local VMs), boots a usable environment in ~30 minutes instead of ~2 hours, uses MinIO as the S3 backend for Loki, and includes Molecule scenarios for testing; remaining work includes mTLS, auth, and Boundary automation (Vault integrated in the Azure branch).
