Ansible: From Basics to Guru by Pearson

Sander van Vugt teaches Ansible from the ground up and helps you get the most out of your Ansible solutions and playbooks by showing you how to manage a multi-faceted environment, whether you’re new or experienced in development and whether you’re an administrator or a user.

The first part of the course covers Ansible basics and how to get started. Explore how to develop flexible playbooks before jumping into managed infrastructure, ad-hoc commands, Ansible AWX, conditionals, plugins, and managing containers.

In the second part, get up to speed on core concepts and advanced features. Learn how to modify Ansible and organize your setup. Dive deeper into playbooks, modules, and content collections, and learn how to use them with variables and conditionals. See how to manage files with Jinja2 templates, review roles and standardized components, and explore advanced topics such as filters and plugins to extend Ansible functionality.
