We will be setting up servers which will act as one control machine and multiple host machines. We will then configure Ansible on our clean Ubuntu server. We will learn the core concepts that make up a Playbook including Plays, Tasks, Modules, Notify Handlers and Var injection. You will get to write your own Playbook which will use the learned concepts. We will learn how to make changes in our Playbooks and see how that affects our host machines. By the end of this course you will be comfortable going forward building your own Ansible files, and accessing the documentation yourself.
