Can we get rid of Ansible after moving the digital collections to Heroku? What’s standing in our way?
Things we have to keep
We still need Ansible for the following:
S3 bucket management (see issue #1023). We may want to use Terraform for this instead.
Building ArchivesSpace (details).
Building the management server itself.
Currently the only place from which we can run Ansible scripts. If we can run Ansible from our laptops, we can get rid of the management server.
Building and maintaining the Voices in Biotech servers.
Things we can eliminate
All the code used only for creating create scihist_digicoll servers.
