Managing workloads on Nomad has never been easier with the help of a custom ansible module I wrote for this purpose. Includes many cool features like a fancy colored diff

Choosing a secure file syncing application has never been easier. After evaluating a variety of options such Dropbox, OwnCloud, and Seafile for over 5 years, the journey is finally over. I have found the best option - Syncthing. Let me explain why you should consider it.
Ansible has many powerful modules. One of which is called uri which is capable of sending any kind of HTTP
request. Using this module, it is fairly simple to allow ansible to intelligently talk to a REST API. This will come in handy during for automation of the sensu monitoring docker infrastructure I am currently working on.
Nginx is a great web server which offers really high performance with very little resource consumption. This makes it ideal for docker containers, small embedded devices, or even just dealing with a ton of connections. I also often use Nginx’s powerful proxy capabilities.

. Having said that, it becomes very important for me to be able to deploy this in a secure manner.
