When you deploy your first Application Server, it seems like an easy and fun task.
Initially, that is true, but life becomes much harder when you end up with hundreds of them.

I've helped an Italian Independent Software Vendor to gain control of their 300+ Java Application Servers leveraging Ansible.
We started automating the deployment of new Java Applications on top of them.
We moved to automate the whole server life-cycle, and by the end, we automated all repetitive tasks in the company.
In the talk, I'll explain how we proceeded and why we did so and share the experience and practical examples you can apply in your automation process.
