It seems like just yesterday that we were putting together the recap of Ansible's community growth in 2014. That was a very good year.
Here we are at the start of 2016 already -- and looking back on 2015, it was an even better year than 2014 was.
First, let's take a look at the numbers. For consistency's sake, we'll mostly compare to 2014 numbers, which can be found in last year's analysis. Note that the same caveats from last year's analysis also apply this year.
Debian’s Popularity Contest is an opt-in way for Debian users to share information about the software they’re running on their systems. Although it represents only a small sample of the Linux distro world, it’s useful because it’s one of the few places where we can really see an apples-to-apples comparison of install bases of the various tools. Because Ansible is agentless, we compare the Ansible package to the server packages of other configuration management tools.
For the first time in 2015, Ansible installations on this chart outnumbered Puppetmaster installations. Ansible shows continued strong growth, and appears to remain on an upward trend into 2016.
Caveats abound with this chart, but it does Continue reading

Welcome to Technology Short Take #60. As usual, I’ve gathered what I hope to be a useful but varied collection of articles and links on key data center technologies. I hope something I’ve included here will be helpful—enjoy!
Featuring speakers from Industrial Light and Magic, Atlassian, Cisco and more!
We're happy to share our speaker lineup for AnsibleFest London on Thursday, February 18th at InterContinental London - The O2. Our one-day user conference brings together hundreds of Ansible users, developers and industry partners to share best-practices, case studies and Ansible news.
With yet another record setting amount of submissions, our engineering team had their work cut out for them. We took each submission, anonymized them to remove any speaker/company/product information, and sent them off to our team of engineers for blind review. We then picked out a well-rounded agenda from the highest scoring talks.
Stay tuned for additional speakers announcements leading up to the event.
Deploying a Mesos Based Visual Effects Studio with Ansible
Aaron Carey, Production Engineer, Industrial Light and Magic
Jim Vanns, Senior Production Engineer, Industrial Light and Magic
Industrial Light and Magic is leveraging Ansible to deploy a Mesos cluster from scratch on multiple cloud platforms, build its application docker images and deploy them as services. This presentation will look at how ILM is using tags to manage services dynamically, and the steps taken to make it work across different cloud providers.
