Use Ansible to Fulfill Service Now VMWare Guest Orders

Provisioning virtual machines hast to be one of the most common operations requested by IT consumers. Fulfilling these requests usually involves an IT professional interpreting some specifications, allocating the appropriate resources, and ensuring a successful deployment. Should this include a human at all? I'd argue that this process should be fully automated by every organization, only requiring human intervention when specifications are outside the bounds of an acceptable threshold. Fortunately, we have tools for this - I am going to demonstrate how you can leverage service now for ordering, Ansible for fulfillment, and VMWare for hosting.
