Explore a 40-minute EuroPython Conference talk on automating large-scale infrastructure provisioning using QUADS (Quick and Dirty Scheduler). Learn how a small DevOps team at Red Hat developed open-source Python-based tools to streamline system and network automation. Discover how QUADS integrates with Foreman, Ansible, and other open-source technologies to enable scheduled provisioning, auto-generate documentation, and track system assignments. Gain insights into improving efficiency and automation in your own infrastructure, and see real-world examples of how QUADS empowers rapid performance and scale testing of Red Hat products.
