Being a part of it

164 words, 1 minutes.

In the summer of 2013 I worked on a project that introduced me to Ansible. I was so impressed by it that I wrote a blog post. I found Ansible to be different to the plethora of software that constantly tries to grab our attention these days, and I’ve pretty much evangelised it since.

From presenting at DevOps Cardiff and the London Splunk User Group, I have tried to spread the word. Because Ansible is the embodiment of something I’ve been going on about for years - the tech industry keeps trying to make things more complicated than they need to be.

Making things complicated isn’t the answer, making them simple is!

So I am proud to say that I’m becoming a small part of Ansible, Inc. From today, I will be their first representative in the UK and Europe.

For the short term, I’ll still be juggling my commitments with VNTX and DevOpsGuys, but you can also reach me as mark AT ansible.com
