Abstract - Ansible Saved My Life

Ansible Saved My Life

Repeat after me, "I'll never do that again." We've all been there before. The last hurdle before unleashing your latest idea on the world is simply setting up your server environment. Many hours (days?) later, you've pulled out most of your hair, offended your neighbors, and neglected basic hygiene. There must be an easier way.

What if I told you all you need to do is copy a few YAML files from GitHub and run a single command? With Ansible, an infrastructure automation tool, it's just that simple. In this primer, you'll learn how to automate tedious devOps tasks, lock your provisioning into source control, and free yourself to spend more time writing code.

This is a great abstract, it's compelling and does some good story telling. I would break it into two paragraphs, for a little easier reading though. Maybe break after "There must be an easier way"

Read well and I agree with Kayla that splitting into two paragraphs would make it a little easier to read.

Also, consider adding something to tell me what Ansible actually is.
