Create a small web application
Its root URL "/" should display a form that accepts three fields as input: "Name", "Favorite Color", "Cats or Dogs". This form should save the result in a relational database and ensure that "Name" is unique. You can use any technology for this (eg, it could be node.js and sqlite, or python and mysql, or golang and postgres).
After you have built this sample application, create an Ansible playbook to deploy it on a cloud. Yes, Ansible; please don't use chef or puppet - we're opinionated about this. If you don't have an account, don't worry - you can sign up with AWS for free and test your application on a "tiny" instance at no charge.
Bonus points if the application can be easily scaled beyond a single server. More bonus points if the server is well secured (HTTPS, firewalls, etc).
Finally, provide us with the IP address or hostname of the operational site, a copy of the application code and the Ansible playbooks necessary to deploy it, and a small document that will allow us to test it out ourselves. Add the following SSH public key, so that we can access the instance to look at your work.
