Briefs on Ansible, Issue 61

June 12, 2015 - Issue 61

Quick Note:
DevOpsU is transitioning to the name VALDHAUS.
I loved the "devops" term in the beginning, but the definition drifted further and further away from what I was actually doing, which is more purely "Automating Systems". So I've gone with a name that will be a bit more versatile.
The new domain is: valdhaus.co
