Role Purpose:

• The aim of this post is to demonstrate how to use Ansible for environment provisioning and application deployment in a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) process using a Jenkins Pipeline.
• Ansible is a powerful tool for IT automation and can be used in a CI/CD process to provision the target environment and to then deploy the application on it.
• Jenkins is a well-known tool for implementing CI/CD. Shell scripts are commonly used for provisioning environments or to deploy apps during the pipeline flow. Although this could work, it is cumbersome to maintain and reuse scripts in the long run.
• The purpose of using Ansible in the pipeline flow is to reuse roles and Playbooks for provisioning, leaving Jenkins only as a process orchestrator instead of a shell script executor.
• Create a secure production infrastructure with thousands of resources across three cloud platforms.
• Design, develop and scale infrastructure-as-code.
• Establish SLAs for service uptime, and build the necessary telemetry and alerting platforms to enforce them
• Architect and build continuous deployment pipelines.
• Create tools to empower developers to manage production infrastructure.
