We've mentioned it before in Ansible around the web, but there are big changes afoot with Ansible itself and the move to collections. To keep the developer community updated with the rate of progress, our own Greg DeKoenigsberg has started a newsletter, The Bullhorn. You should check it out!
Continuing with April's wander around the web, we found articles on Windows packages, Oracle, configuration verification and even managing Excel spreadsheets. Enjoy!

Today, I learned about @ansible. In a couple of hours I was able to create a playbook to upgrade ±800 Azure IoT Edge nodes. Now... I'm not a IT Pro (at all) but this was freaking #awesome! Great getting started, docs and usability! I'm thinking about writing a blog post about it. pic.twitter.com/5JQZthdwD2
