The Hackers‘ Sanctuary City

TROOPERS has a long history of theming the conference every year. Usually we pick a surreal topic, a fun story which we think is worth to pick up on.

Virtualized Training Environment with Ansible

The idea was, that every attendee has their own VMs to run ansible against, ideally including one to run ansible from, as we want to avoid setup or version incompatibilities if they set up their own ansible environment on their laptop.  Also they should only be able to talk to their own machines, thus avoiding conflicts because of accidental usage of wrong IPs or host names but also simplify the setup for the users.
