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 in 4 Hours walks you through the basics steps to learning and using Ansible in just a short time. We’ll begin with understanding Ansible and set up a basic Ansible environment. We will then work with modules and ad-hoc commands, learn to use Ansible playbooks, use variables and finally use control structures.
All sections contain real-world hands-on exercises so you can see Ansible in action and learn through clear demo-led instruction. You will see how to use Ansible in DevOps environments to deploy and manage software and configurations on different assets, as well as how to deploy software more efficiently. Ansible has rapidly evolved to one of the most important solutions for configuration management and this course teaches you how to use it in heterogeneous environments and on multiple operating systems.
