Moving to the Cloud
This chapter will move from using our local virtual machine to using Ansible to launch instances with a public cloud provider.
For this chapter, we will be using Microsoft Azure, and we are targeting this provider as it allows us to launch virtual machines and interact with them without having too much configuration overhead.
We will then look at adapting our WordPress playbook to interact with the newly launched Microsoft Azure instance.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- An introduction to Microsoft Azure
- Launching instances in Microsoft Azure
- Bootstrapping WordPress
