A tale of Ansible fanboy
summary
Shows how Ansible runs real AWS scale operations: control via no agents or daemons and SSH key based control, with human-readable playbooks, inventory files and handlers. Claims manage tens to thousands of instances for provisioning, autoscaling, continuous delivery and disaster recovery; cites a platform spending $4.7M/month on AWS with ~600M API calls. Demonstrates concrete patterns: serial vs parallel updates to avoid downtime, copying code, templating nginx/uwsgi configs, and new Docker integration for creating and inspecting containers on the fly.
