Ansible UrbanCode Better Together Slides

Urbancode Deploy and Ansible can be used together to automate application deployments. Urbancode Deploy provides deployment governance and graphical deployment automation, while Ansible provides configuration management and infrastructure automation capabilities. The presentation provides overviews of both tools and demonstrates how they can be integrated, such as having Urbancode Deploy delegate infrastructure tasks to Ansible or orchestrate deployments that involve both application and infrastructure changes. Integrating the tools allows for automated end-to-end application deployments that leverage the strengths of each solution.
