Getting back to the blog

Daily life has kept me from doing many things, including keeping this blog updated, but there’s no time for everything, and in the end fatigue forces me to reorganize priorities.

In recent months, I’ve been working on implementing RedHat CloudForms, Ansible Tower, and more, so I’ve had to work much more with Ansible. It was already a habit, but lately it’s been much more intensive.

So I’ve earned a few RedHat “certifications”:

• Red Hat Delivery Specialist - Automated SAP HANA System Replication with Pacemaker
• Red Hat Delivery Specialist - Automation with Ansible by Red Hat
• Red Hat Delivery Specialist - Cloud Management
• Red Hat Delivery Specialist - Platform

Following my premise of automating everything, and so I have no excuse when it comes to updating this blog, even now it’s done from ansible

ansible-playbook  deploy-antoniocortes_com.yml

The checkout and “render” is as simple as:

    - name: "git checkout"
      git:
        repo: git@gitlab.com:drzippie/antoniocortes-com.git
        dest: /home/drzippie/src/antoniocortes_com
        accept_hostkey: True
    - name: "build"
      shell: "hugo -d /var/www/antoniocortes.com/web"
      args:
        chdir:  /home/drzippie/src/antoniocortes_com

Which largely updates or installs Hugo, checks out the git repo, and runs hugo to update the website.

I no longer have an excuse for deployment, now I just need a little time to start writing things, largely continuing to use this site to leave my notes and resources that I consider important for me.
