Ansible yaml code is easy to write but hard to understand and reason about, hard to maintain, debug and test.
All of this until you take a functional programming perspective look at an Ansible code. Concepts from functional programming like pure functions, effects, composition, lazy evaluations and others are very much applicable and very useful in Ansible.Allow me to show you how concepts from functional programming can help you simplify Ansible content development, make your Ansible content bullet proof tested, easy to maintain, understand and reuse.
This talk does not require any prior knowledge of functional programming. It is designed to be useful to both beginners and experienced Ansible content developers.
