Abstract:

Python is a powerful language that's just as good at system administration tasks as it is at data analytics. If you're like me, you have tons of .py scripts all over the place for doing various repetitive jobs. Without any structured method of the organization behind those scripts, things quickly spin out of control. In this session, we will learn about Invoke, a Python library that helps us make our tools more accessible and manageable. We'll start from simple techniques that you can start using today, all the way to a more advanced installation using Invoke to help administer, build and deploy from a mono-repo with many applications.
