Post-Provisioning Demo

The Post-Provisioning demo (workflow) consists of:

1. Provision a “clean-slate” VM
2. (refresh inventory)
3. Install relevant software
4. Communicate that this has been done

In the case of this example we provision a VM in AWS, post-provision with the beats lightweight shippers, and post to Slack the IP address of the VM.

Takeaways

1. Unified language used throughout (ansible)
2. Straight-forwardness (simplicity) of each individual process
3. Ease of modification while still maintaining flexibility
4. Ease of integration with additional tools or processes.
