About

This contribution outlines the use of Ansible to automate the deployment and lifecycle management of EOS clusters. By utilizing declarative playbooks, we orchestrate the setup of MGM and FST components while ensuring consistent configuration of the QuarkDB metadata backend and XRootD framework. This automated approach eliminates manual errors, simplifies complex version upgrades, and enables the rapid scaling of storage capacity required for exa-scale environments. Attendees will see how shifting to Infrastructure-as-Code provides a repeatable and reliable foundation for managing massive-scale open storage.
