This series is highlighting the improvements and new capabilities introduced with CloudForms 4.6 about Ansible Custom Buttons.
The Ansible Playbook used in this example will install a user-specified package on the selected virtual machine.
Here is the video of the live demo Maxim Burgerhout and myself performed at Red Hat Summit in San Francisco 2018.
We hope to see you there!
If you are around, please don’t forget to come to the Management & Automation booth and say hello! We´ll have something for you!
Are you coming to Red Hat Summit? We are!
This will be my first summit and I cannot be more excited! I will meet a lot of interesting people and I am sure there will be outstanding announces as well. I can’t wait for it
Please check-out the labs our team is delivering during Red Hat Summit… they’re super interesting!
