Overview

13+ Hours of Video Instruction

13+ hours of video instruction teaching you how to get started with Ansible for managing Linux, Windows, Containers, Network Devices, and Cloud.

Ansible is the leading solution for configuration management. It lets you automate assets in an environment—including Linux, Windows, Cloud, Network Devices and more—and works as an application-deployment tool enabling infrastructure as code.

Ansible Complete Video Course: From Basics to Guru will teach Ansible from the ground up, so whether you’re a novice or an experienced developer, administrator or user, this title will help you get the most out of your Ansible solutions and playbooks and manage your heterogeneous environment. This course consists of all the major and popular topics and concepts that are relevant to Ansible. It begins with the basics of Ansible and how to get started. It will then explore how to develop flexible playbooks before jumping managed infrastructure, ad-hocs commands, Ansible Tower, conditionals, plugins, and managing containers among various other important topics.

Every lesson contains multiple practical examples that show how Ansible is used in the real world. At the end of each lesson, you will find an exercise that was built so you can practice your skills; each exercise also comes with a video explanation. Ansible Complete Video Course: From Basics to Guru is also a deep-dive into the topics covered in the Red Hat Ansible best practices exam (EX447).

Topics include
  • Getting Started with Ansible
  • Developing Flexible Playbooks
  • Advanced Ansible Management
  • Managing Heterogenous Environment with Ansible
