Description:

A developer builds and deploys containers using Dockerfiles and Docker Compose, while production trusts Ansible and Kubernetes/Marathon; the environments differ greatly.

Ansible Container to the rescue! Build container images using Ansible Playbooks, convert Docker Compose to Kubernetes, and deploy!

Ansible Container addresses the current pain points of moving build and deployment of containers from development to production.

It enables teams to:

• build and provision Docker container images using Ansible Playbooks, besides Dockerfiles. Use templates, copy files, drop in encrypted data, handle errors, add conditionals, and more.
• convert Docker Compose file format to Kubernetes or OpenShift artifacts, or even Ansible roles to plug into the existing infrastructure.
• allows defining developer and production configuration in the Docker Compose file itself, so the same file can be used in both environments.

During the dev sprint, we will cover -

• Ansible Container demo
• Code walkthrough
• Bugs/Issues walkthrough
• How to contribute and gitflow walkthrough
• Hacking session

Installation:

Please install ansible-container and make sure it works before coming for the dev sprint: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-container/installation.html
