Session abstract

Get ready to learn how to get from the “my collection exists” level to the “my collection really speeds up the adoption of automation” level.

We will showcase the best practices XLAB Steampunk and Sensu devised when designing, building and supporting a Certified Ansible Collection for Sensu Go. We will wrap up with reproducible steps for building high-quality Ansible content.
