Are you able to deploy real world applications rapidly to meet your business needs? Join us to learn how to easily model and automate delivery of modern applications to your private or public clouds. By utilizing vRealize Automation and Configuration Management Tools (Puppet, Chef, Salt etc.) together, you can build, deploy and configure standardized multitier applications within minutes. Once these applications are deployed, ongoing management and maintenance is essential. We will show you how to manage drift, roll out updates, and ensure consistency in your applications, thus reducing outages and unnecessary downtime.

How can I translate the great things I–m hearing about DevOps into potential solutions for my own company? A panel composed of technical experts from Puppet, Chef, Ansible, and Microsoft. The panelists will discuss what their products do and how they are relevant in a VMware environment to both developers and system administrators for implementing DevOps tools and practices.

One of the key principles of the DevOps movement is to automate everything, and to never do repetitive work manually. VMware NSX is a key enabling technology to make this possible. It does this by abstracting logical from physical networks, and by providing a single API to create complex network topologies for multi-tier applications. We will show how to interact with VMware NSX using Python and Ansible. After a short introduction to the API, we will go into details of the available Python library that will help you to achieve quick results. Finally we will show how the Ansible configuration management tool can be used with NSX to create secure network environments for multi-tier applications.
Thursday, September 3, 1:30-2:30 p.m. PT
WHERE: Moscone West, Level 3, Room 3008
Joseph Callen, Advisor Solution Architect, CSC and Russell Teague, Sr. System Architect, CSC
Initial provisioning of physical infrastructures can be challenging unless they are automated and easily repeatable. Using Ansible and Hanlon, this automated approach starts with hardware being racked and then only applying power to build a VMware vSphere infrastructure.
