[Jitsi](https://jitsi.org/) is a free, open source video conferencing and communication platform that provides a secure, stable, and free alternative to other popular video conferencing services. With Jitsi, you can use built-in features to limit meeting access with passwords or stream on YouTube so anyone can attend.

This guide walks you through how to create a scalable Jitsi Meet cluster using [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/). The provided Ansible playbook creates an initial deployment that can then be scaled up or down as needed.

## Provision Your Cluster

1. Using the `ansible-playbook` utility, run the `provision.yml` playbook with verbose options to keep track of the deployment process. This stands up Linode instances and dynamically writes the Ansible inventory to the hosts file. The playbook is complete when ssh is available on all deployed instances.
