Quick little blurb for today, but I was able to create my first ansible playbook and in scale (my small environment of 4 linux VMs) update all my servers via apt! I have ansible running on MacOS which made the various guide online of how to get it up and running a little off, but I was able to figure it out! Biggest ah ha moment for me was that on MacOS the ansible directory (installed via brew) was in my home directory “/home/tyler/.

Today my goal was to use docker + Azure to get a web app deployed to Microsoft Azure’s web apps. After about 2 hours and some reading I was able to get through it! It should also be noted that before today I have briefly messed with Docker containers in the past but hadn’t quite understood the power of containers. I’m happy to report that I have become a fan!
