Getting Started with Ansible at Simplilearn Course details
- Ansible is a popular choice for IT automation because it allows you to concisely specify a desired state and then it does the heavy lifting to make that state a reality. In this course, Getting Started with Ansible, you will learn foundational knowledge to quickly and reliably configure just about anything with Ansible. First, you will learn how to install Ansible and use the ansible Ad-hoc command line tool to execute one-off modules in Ansible to configure single aspects of a system like ensuring a line exists in a file, or an application is installed. Playbooks will be composed of modules to build up larger configurations all stored in simple file(s) that pass through Ansible-playbook. Then, you'll see how to use inventories to configure multiple machines including a full fledged VM learning lab that you then use Ansible to configure.
