DevOps - Ansible for the Absolute Beginners

Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy. Avoid writing scripts or custom code to deploy and update your applications— automate in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems.

This course introduces a beginner to basic fundamentals of Ansible with easy to do hands-on exercises that you can practice right in the browser. The course introduces basic use cases of Ansible followed by an introduction to Ansible Inventory, Playbooks, Modules, Variables, Conditionals, Loops and Roles.
