Streamlining Ansible Infrastructure Management with Drumkit
A recent entry in the "Pure Ansible Infrastructure" blog series, published by Consensus Enterprises, outlines how developers can streamline their workflows using Drumkit to simplify project tooling and unify complex command-line tasks. The post explains that Drumkit, a tool based on GNU make, enables the creation of project-specific “targets” to ensure consistent operations, such as pinning project-local versions of Ansible and automating common procedures.
It details how the project’s environment is bootstrapped via a virtualenv, incorporating pipenv for Python-based dependencies, and includes steps for installing and using Drumkit, along with instructions for running key operations like deploying infrastructure or configuring Aegir. The article originally appeared on the Consensus Enterprises blog, and readers interested in the presented methods are encouraged to get in touch, as comments have been disabled.
