This is the starting point for the tutorial "Zero Downtime Deployment with Ansible" where you will learn how to provision Linux servers with a web-proxy, a database and automate zero downtime deployment of a Java application to a load balanced environment.
Install Python setuptools: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#installation-instructions
If you prefer not to install packages to your global site-packages you can install and use virtualenv: http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install paramiko PyYAML jinja2 passlib
sudo pip install ansible
Then, if you're going to update ansible later, just do:
sudo pip install ansible --upgrade

Install vagrant-cachier plugin to speed up apt with a shared cache between boxes:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
Install vagrant-hostmanager plugin to manage the /etc/hosts file on guest machines and the host:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
Clone this repo, and start the virtual machines:
git clone https://github.com/steinim/zero-downtime-ansible.git
cd zero-downtime-ansible
vagrant up

The first time I a held the tutorial was at the Velocity Conference in Barcelona 2014.
I also did a talk on the same subject at DevOpsCon Berlin 2016,
and at DevOps Pro in Moscow 2016.
and at DevOpsCon in Munich 2017.
