Join me at CfgMgmtCamp 2025 in Ghent as I discuss automating AI-powered graph databases using Ansible, OpenAI, and Neo4j GenAI. Discover best practices in.
What an incredible experience it has been at CfgMgmtCamp 2025 in Ghent, Belgium! Following the 25th anniversary of FOSDEM, this event brought together systems administrators, DevOps engineers, and Infrastructure as Code enthusiasts to share the latest in automation, configuration management, and cloud orchestration.
At CfgMgmtCamp 2025, I had the privilege of presenting my talk on:
"Automating AI-Powered Graph Databases with Ansible: A Neo4j GenAI Case Study".
During my 25-minute session, I shared:
✅ How to automate the deployment of Neo4j GenAI environments using Ansible playbooks.
✅ Integrating OpenAI for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) tasks to enhance AI-driven workflows.
✅ Best practices for configuring, managing, and optimizing AI-powered graph databases in hybrid cloud environments.
For IT professionals and DevOps practitioners looking to streamline AI infrastructure automation, this session provided hands-on insights and real-world use cases.
The event was packed with engaging discussions, covering topics such as:
🔹 Best practices in Ansible automation
🔹 Hybrid cloud management and infrastructure optimization
🔹 The growing role of AI in automation workflows
🔹 Security and compliance in cloud-native automation
A huge thank you to everyone who attended my talk, asked insightful questions, and contributed to the discussions. Your enthusiasm for Ansible and AI-driven automation is what makes these events so valuable!
