Infrastructure Deployment Automation with Red Hat Ansible & Azure Bicep | Linux and Open Source
The latest updates to configure and manage your Linux workloads in Azure. We recently introduced a new, simpler open source declarative language called Bicep that helps you easily deploy Azure resources. For Red Hat users, we’ll show you the new managed app version of the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform on Azure, to set up a maintenance-free ansible environment in Azure. Lachie Evenson, Linux and Azure expert, joins Jeremy Chapman to share how we have focused on removing the learning curve to make it easier to configure and manage your workloads in Azure.
