In the first session, [wiki:GEC22Agenda/IntroToCM Introduction to Configuration Management Tools for Experimenters], experimenters discussed their experiences using these tools to run experiments on GENI. In this second (hands-on) session attendees will do simple examples using two different tools, Chef and Ansible. The goal of the two sessions is to encourage experimenters to adopt a configuration management (CM) tool of their choice in their day-to-day experimentation. == Audience == ''Intermediate to Advanced.'' Primarily of interest to GENI experimenters, but also of interest to GENI and US Ignite developers. == Pre-requisites / Pre-work == Some familiarity with the concept of using GENI for experimentation is recommended. Hands-on participants must know how to reserve resources in GENI using an existing RSpec and how to log into nodes using SSH with a private key. Attendance at presentation session held previously is recommended: [wiki:GEC22Agenda/IntroToCM Introduction to Configuration Management Tools for Experimenters] == Agenda == 1. Hands-On with Chef and Ansible. ''Hands-on experience using each of Chef and Ansible. Experimenters will leave with the software installed and having done a small example that illustrates the strengths of each tool for experimenters.'' * Slides: [attachment: pptx] * Instructions: [wiki: web]
