Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently we use Ansible to allow self-service for app teams to deploy JWS/Apache. This helps keep infrastructure costs down and we are looking to add more automation to free up more infrastructure resources.

Pros and Cons

Building templates for re-use is a wonderful feature
The ability to review runs/logs and re-run jobs

I don't like the inventory of hosts currently - might be how we have it configured but I don't want to maintain an inventory as such.
The user interface is getting better - it was very buggy early on but seems to be getting fixed.

Return on Investment

Saved time and resources
