Configuring a new server has gotten simpler and more complicated at the same time.

Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior, Ansible?

No, but seriously. Have you ever given thought to writing automation to configure a new server? It’s ridiculously easy these days. We use it extensively. We can provision an entire clone of our production environment in minutes, if need be, simply by executing some Ansible playbooks to create a new set of Docker swarm hosts with the exact configuration we need to be able to redeploy any application in our topology.
