Manage AWS Resources Using Ansible
Manage AWS Resources Using Ansible
the super short guide to cloud automation
About the Book
Wouldn't you love to be able to simply wave a wand and layers of resources in your AWS account would suddenly - and magically - spring to perfectly configured life, ready to meet your complex infrastructure needs? If you already have experience with AWS, then you know how much of a pain it can be to work through web page after web page in the Amazon management console as you manually provision services. And even the AWS CLI - which is a huge step up - can add its own complexity and effort to the mix. If you're already using Ansible for your on-premises operations, plugging it into your AWS account can sometimes be the quickest and most painless way to migrate operations to the cloud.
