This talk by Oliver Davies from Inviqa explores effective methods for deploying PHP applications using Ansible and Ansistrano. The speaker discusses various traditional deployment options and highlights the advantages of employing Ansible for server provisioning, configuration management, and deployment processes. By utilizing specific Ansible modules such as Git and Composer, along with features like Ansible Vault for managing secrets, attendees will learn how to create a simple yet robust deployment playbook. The session also introduces Ansistrano, which enhances deployment functionality by providing capabilities like build storage, rollbacks, and customizable build steps. By the end of the presentation, participants will have developed a fully operational deployment playbook that effectively deploys real code to a server.
