Cloud integrations

Since cloud automation is the main and most important theme of this book, it only makes sense that we highlight the many different cloud integrations Ansible 2.0 offers right out of the box. Again, this was one of the reasons why I immediately fell in love with Ansible. Yes, the other automation tools also have hooks into many of the cloud providers, but I found at times they did not work or were not mature enough to leverage. Ansible has gone above and beyond to not fall into that trap. Not saying Ansible has all the bases covered, it does feel like most are and that is what matters most to me.

If you have not checked out the cloud modules available for Ansible, take a moment now and take a look at http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_cloud_modules.html. From time to time check back, as I am confident that you will be surprised to find more have been added. I am very proud of my Ansible family for keeping on top of these and making it much easier to write automation...
