Ansible Automation

Automate configuration management. Write simple YAML playbooks to configure servers, deploy apps, and orchestrate IT tasks agentlessly.

Stop manually SSH-ing into servers. Ansible allows you to configure hundreds of servers simultaneously using simple YAML playbooks. This course teaches the agentless architecture of Ansible. You will learn to manage Inventories, use Modules to perform tasks (install packages, copy files), and write Playbooks for complex workflows. We also cover Roles for code reuse and using Ansible Vault to encrypt sensitive data like passwords.
