Ansible: Setup, Configure, and Ad Hoc Commands Deep Dive

Brought by: A Cloud Guru

Overview

Modern DevOps culture requires both automation and configuration management. Ansible is capable of meeting both of these end goals. This course is the first in a series of courses designed to provide a thorough introduction to key Ansible features and modules that lay a foundation for building upon. We start with installing and configuring Ansible itself. Afterward, the most common tasks in systems management are approached using key Ansible modules. After completing this course, students will have a firm understanding of many core Ansible modules, and key Ansible features such as asynchronous task management. The next course in the series, ""Ansible: Playbooks Deep Dive"", covers creating Ansible playbooks in depth.
