[LIVE CHAT] 01/29 TechTalk Soundbites

Can you explain to me what is #Hanlon in basic terms for a non-alpha geek?

@mikeonsing, I'm going to call in an alpha and ask for help, because I'm neither geek, nor alpha :) Dork, maybe though :) @Tjmcs1 or @jcpowermac can provide explanation!

nope most of our testing is done in virtual machines. I use KVM and ESXi for my testing, I know others use VMware Workstation or Fusion.

Hi Tom - good session. Looking forward to working with you on that CMDB integration - will be good to have end to end automation including the instantiation of CI data so we know the records are accurate from the start.

John, I would agree, the Integration with a CMDB and the ability to start with a known set of configuration will go a long way in standardization and service integration.

@mtnbikenc and I have started developing an @Ansible modules for #hanlon so we will be able to automate the creation of the image, model and policy slices that @Tjmcs1 was referring to.

looking forward to fully-automated discovery and policy-based bare-metal provisioning with #ansible and #hanlon when that work is complete

Clearly Hanlon is a key building block in CSC's automation agenda - are we actively using it ourselves in daily operations?

I think with easier setup using docker we might see more operational use of #hanlon.

Great that an evolving toolset is in turn being used to support development of our webscale offering development really bringing the best of "next gen" together then!
