![Slay These Five Automation Dragons [WWT Automation Day Demo]
Automation alone will not save you. We’ll describe the five dragons that cause modernization efforts to fail even when you hire excellent people and buy the best tools. We’ll show how building systems that are (1) reusable with (2) strong abstractions delivered with (3) Infrastructure as Code pipelines allows you to create robust (4) processes that boost cross-team (5) collaboration. We’ll talk about pragmatic actions that you can take to empower your teams to build automation and infrastructure that accelerate your business.

![Running Ansible Local Playbooks [DRP training]
Shows how to use the Ansible Local Playbook Stage with Digital Rebar. This allows users to use Ansible playbooks to perform routine configuration tasks. They can be easily made part of a larger DRP workflow with information injected into Ansible inventory.
The process can use templates, web servers or github as a source of the Ansible playbooks.

Using 3D printing to understanding IaC scaling
10 years ago, I failed deeply at DevOpsDays trying to 3D print booth tchotchkes. Automating infrastructure feels like 3D printing: its magic when it works but takes way more prep, control and effort than youd expect. Are we getting closer to making infrastructure as code into an engineering practice? Why is this so hard and whats holding us back?

![Driving Clusters Using Contexts [v4.6+ DRP Training]
Using library tasks built into Digital Rebar v4.6+, we are able to build complex clusters using a dedicated Cluster Manager workflow running in a Context. This enables significant optimizations of multi-machine operations.
This video shows how that pattern was used to automated k3s installation.
