Tower Demo

[Carri Seargent]

Doyou want to learn more about automation, Ansible playbooks, or Ansible Tower but don't know where to start? I felt the exact same way and needed to find an easy yet powerful way to get started. This article is the first of a series of posts I will be sharing regarding automation, building Ansible Tower demos, and other related topics. Today I want to share with you my journey to building an Ansible Tower home lab, the struggles I experienced, what I learned, and how you can join the mission.

I wanted to use an Ansible playbook to configure a localized lab in an easy manner. If you are not already familiar with how Ansible automation works, let me briefly explain the main pieces that make this such a powerful tool. Ansible engine allows you to run playbooks and execute the job on remote endpoints. The power of Ansible is that you don't need to install an agent on any of the endpoints, so you can technically automate anything on the network.

An Ansible playbook is very easy to understand, write, and deploy. A playbook is a file (such as file.yaml) that contains a set of instructions that executes a job on the endpoint you want to configure. This playbook is written in YAML (yet another markup language), which is a human-readable language that is easy to learn and understand. When you run a playbook, it executes commands, actions, scripts, etc. on the endpoints you are targeting. It can also integrate with other languages. I will not spend too much time on this topic this time around, but maybe I'll expand more in another post.

As you probably already know, the open-source way is a fantastic strategy to build skills, shared knowledge, and learn from others. At Red Hat, we live and breathe these values through our open culture, and this open environment is how I was able to build my first GitHub project.

I learned from one of our Specialist Solutions Architects (shout out to my friend Jerry C) that you could build a lab using Vagrant. We then collaborated to create the initial lab configuration. I quickly realized that I needed to document this information and share it with the world. I think this is a great way to help others build their own environment for learning automation.

I also wanted to create a base infrastructure where I could run demos for different use cases. My dream is to build a collection of demos for Linux, Microsoft, networking, patching, and many other areas. The problem is that I know I can not do this on my own and need the open-source community to help me succeed.

The GitHub project m1820/atd was created to provide a stable, permanent, and versatile environment that is easily deployed and configured. This lab allows you to run the provided sample demos, test, build, and share your playbooks - all on your own computer.

Once you complete the initial setup, you have a working environment with an Ansible Tower server, plus two Fedora servers that could be used as web servers. Since you have access to all the source code, you can reconfigure the servers provided, choose a different OS, or make any modifications you see fit.

Statement from Metro:

The tower must be removed to allow new tracks to be built and a grade crossing at Sarah to be installed. The building lies within the sight distance triangle of the grade crossing.

Here's my demo for Amethyst's song in Cry for Help! Bonus intro guitar loops at the beginning- they play backwards over the end of the song.maybe you're better off with heri think she's better for youi forgot how great it felt to be usguess i got carried away...i had to use you to make me feel strongbut i don't care about that nowi see a tower built out of my mistakesand it all comes crashing downis there something i can do?can i make it up to you?

Tower Tech's BabyTech demo tower showcases our tower's functionality as well as our modularity. The BabyTech demo tower is a fully functioning mini-tower that is 75% smaller than our standard four-fan tower.

BabyTech is trailer-mounted and driven to any parking lot for a product and technology showcase or customer engineering event. A generator is available if power is not readily available to run the recirculating pump and fan motor. If you would like to schedule BabyTech for your location, please contact us.

The BabyTech demo tower is a fun and unique way to help potential customers understand how our technology works and drive sales. Tower Tech sales representatives presenting with the BabyTech demo tower have reported tremendous customer responses and immediate sales opportunities. The BabyTech demo tower is a showstopper that gives customers a look inside the tower to witness, first-hand, the benefits of sustainably efficient Tower Tech towers.

In this example, a telecom company needs to build a set of cell towers to provide signal for inhabitants on Cape Cod.

The number of potential locations for building the towers have been determined. The choice of these locations is based on several factors, including how well the tower blends into the surrounding environment and the height of the terrain.

The towers have a fixed range, and due to budget constraints, only a limited number of them can be built. Given these restrictions, the company wishes to provide coverage to as large a fraction of the population as possible.

To access the cellphone tower demo application and create your scenario using your own data from a blank template or to play with existing default scenarios, you must first register for a Gurobi website account and then view the demo.

The $1.7 million, three-phase project includes installing water meters for all village customers; fire hydrant and valve replacement; dismantling the old water tower; and replacing the Main Street water line.

Featuring a patented (US Patent #5303621) movement, Command Light towers can be raised and rotated into endless positions. This demo lets you operate our virtual tower and its standard controller, allowing you to illuminate this 360-degree scene. TRY ... 1) Overhanging the apparatus to illuminate the work area in our exclusive streetlight position; 2) Lighting two sides of the scene with Command Light's backlight option and continuous rotation; and 3) Auto-parking the light tower after you've explored the controller's many other features. SCROLL down for button descriptions.

The FULL DEMO (above) is designed for operation on newer computers. This demo allows the user to operate the tower in multiple environments and then further explore Command Light's various advantages.

Inevitably, all communication towers reach the end of their useful life cycle for various reasons. Kilowatt offers multiple methods of tower removal depending on situational restrictions ranging from the careful dismantling of a structure via gin pole to the quick process of tower demolition.

Full site removal is available for obsolete sites to restore original conditions. We can assist with the process of preparing scrap and waste for transport, loading, and delivery as well as removal of buildings, fences, foundations, underground cabling and access roads. Reseeding of native vegetation and metal detector verification of debris removal is available upon request.

Select which OpenTower product you would like to see via personal demonstration. One of our tower experts will reach out to better understand the problems you are trying to solve and will tailor the demonstration to your specific needs.

GOLF is a joke demo of Pizza Tower made for April Fools Day. In this demo, Peppino needs to throw a Greaseball to various goals throughout the level with as little hits as possible. Once the level is beaten, prompts appear letting the player know about the hidden keybinds.

Demolition has begun on a now-vacant former office building at the southwest corner of West Grand Boulevard and the Lodge Freeway service drive in Detroit. The removal of the building and ensuing cleanup, which is expected to last a few months, will pave the way for crews to start work on a vibrant and modernized new patient tower.

Construction of the new hospital facility and patient tower is expected to begin later this year, with the expansion slated to open in 2029. Anyone interested in learning about or staying updated on the project is encouraged to visit www.futureofhealthdetroit.com or www.henryford.com/detroitcampusupdates, or call (313) 874-2488 to hear recorded updates.

Priestly has been no stranger to Amherstburg of late. The firm is in the midst of tearing down and clearing the sprawling former General Chemical factory only a couple of kilometres away. Strachan has been overseeing that job as well since spring, to be concluded next summer.
