Course Summary
The Working with Ansible training course demonstrates the flexibility and power of the Ansible configuration management system and how it can be used to build and scale highly-reliable infrastructure environments and projects.
The course begins by using real-world examples to demonstrate how Ansible can be used to manage environments as small as a couple of servers, or for massively distributed infrastructure that spans the globe — all with the same simple syntax. Next, students will have hands-on experience in building a reliable and easily reproducible infrastructure using Ansible. The course concludes with a lesson on integrating Ansible into the operations workflow.
Prerequisites for this class include a basic understanding of Linux/Unix system concepts and familiarity with Command Line Interface (CLI).
Purpose
Learn a basic understanding of Ansible with hands-on experience to enable its use in managing configuration environments.
