DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Eric ATTOU (WACREN)\, Edward Banjo (WACREN)\n\nDescr
 iptionAs institutional IT teams are moving away from the typical tradition
 al server management characterised by multi-component infrastructure to an
  automated networking environment\, they need to develop the necessary ski
 llset required for productive\, effective and efficient work.To install ap
 plications more effectively and maintain ongoing management across real an
 d virtual systems\, server automation combines task and process automation
  into a single solution.Establishing workflows that automatically coordina
 te tasks and processes makes end-to-end management possible and lowers hum
 an error rates. It is beneficial for small development teams that must con
 tinuously maintain production to support continuous delivery.This Technica
 l Workshop will focus on training network admins in Ansible – a leading 
 platform deployed by IT professionals worldwide to automate their server a
 nd network environment. This workshop is a side event of the WACREN 2023
