I am doing a 45-minute talk on Ansible and Ansible Tower to a large group of infrastructure people at my company.  The audience is mixed, some know Ansible well, others may have only heard about it.  I would like to develop an Ansible demo that I could start sometime early during my talk.  Then wrap up my talk with a " TaDa! Look at all the cool stuff ansible did while I was talking!" moment.

Has anyone done an Ansible demo that went over well with their audience?  Does anyone have any ideas of what would be interesting to see as an audience member?

Not sure what type of company you work for, but it might be useful to show a demo of how you can automate some kind of process, which consists of several individual steps, through ansible playbooks and Ansible Tower workflows. You can focus on simple playbooks which do basic things and exchange values between job templates, all seen from a single view which is the workflow (maybe using approvals or conditionals).

It's just an idea, hope it helps

I demoed it internally to folks trying to get more buy-in with the following

Create NetApp volume
Create NetApp Dr volume
Mirror it
Mount Dr side
Present share through DFS (created function for PS to do it manually via ansible command module)
Create AD security groups
Assign permissions to share using new groups

It's a doozey

Hmm,

Now that sounds very interesting.

One of dozens of hats I support in addition to cloud. I didn’t think of using Ansible in this fashion
