Automated Deployments with Ansible?
Has anyone ever Automated Pega Deployments using Ansible? If so, can you give me the details as to how it was accomplished?

Although this is not an active thread, I wanted to point out that automating deployments using Ansible is entirely possible. The Pega platform provides REST APIs that are DevOps related, both under Pega APIs as well as through packages such prpcServiceUtils. Here are some articles on how to use these APIs
- Using prpcService Utils and Jenkins for automated application deployment
- Running PegaUnit test cases and test suites with the Execute Tests service
The image below shows the types of services that have been introduced in the platform that support CI/CD
The same concepts would be used with Ansible, except that you would call the REST APIs using Ansible's URI module.

Here is an example implementation of building a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Gradle instead of Ansible - https://github.com/pw2017-devops/inventory-management-pipeline
