+title: Automate to manage repetitive tasks with Ansible
+speakers: [Daniel Pickering]
+use: [speakers]
+---
+Many people now blog as a keep safe of knowledge and to share. With ansibles you can automate these processes and still share the files. You can build custom command libraries I like to think of as a CLI for your specific use case with a set of commands to save time and being more productive.
+
+Ansible is designed to be a quick and effective tool to help remove repetitive tasks.
+
+If you have to do the same task more than once a year I’d recommend you create a script for it.
+
+I feel that Ansible is really undered used by the drupal community and many tasks can be aided in completion by adding a little ansibles where needed.
+
+Why repeat when you can automate.
+
+I will give an overview of the ways it can be used and if we have time demonstrate some functionality of ansibles and why more people should use it.
