Optimization of Systems-Development Life Cycle Through Automation Using Ansible

In order to sustain oneself in this era of cutting-edge technology, companies need to adopt different technologies for the efficient execution of tasks. In pursuit of accomplishing the targets, the companies install a number of software or add lines of code. DevOps is a large number of programming improvement repetitions that consolidate software development (Dev) and information-technology operations (Ops) to shorten the lifecycle of system development while delivering patches, updates and features from time to time in close collaboration with business objectives. Time is what everybody wants to save and this where Automation comes into practice. This paper throws light on how companies can adopt simple automation by creating HA proxy servers, web servers, and Hadoop-cluster with the help of an automation tool called Ansible. Ansible is an open-source mechanization platform, used for IT jobs, for example, framework management, application installment, intra-service coordination and accoutering. Here, YAML and Jinja languages are used to create and automate both the HA proxy server and Hadoop cluster.
