Hosts' lifecycle with Foreman and Ansible

"Ansible is a extremely easy to learn tool to orchestrate and configure hosts. However, managing the whole lifecycle of your hosts will require other tools for provisioning and monitoring at least. At the Foreman project we have found Ansible to be a fundamental tool on a lot of deployments for configuration, so we have started efforts to provide value to Ansible users. This talk will show you what can you gain out of using Foreman with Ansible, including providing an UI for remote execution, hosts registration, provisioning, and more. By the end of it, you should at least be intrigued to consider using Foreman to complement your automat ion efforts with Ansible."
