Manual

Create `odl:odl` user:group?

Manual

Want a home dir for that user?

Manual

chown ODL's dir to `odl:odl`

Manual

Restart ODL service

Manual

(if only you had systemd support)

Manual

Login and configure Karaf features?

Manual

Port configuration?

Manual

Fine for devs

Manual

Automatic deployments?

OPNFV?

manual

First user experience?

Ansible

Rejects Puppet's style of testing
“don’t unit test your playbook"

“Ansible believes you should not need another framework to validate basic things of your infrastructure”

Ansible

So no rspec-puppet or Beaker

Beaker was kinda nice...

Ansible

No tears for rspec-puppet
