Description

Learn the Ansible automation technology with some real-life examples updated for 2025 IT modern infrastructure.

Every successful IT department needs automation nowadays for bare metal servers, virtual machines, cloud, containers, and edge computing. Automate your IT journey with Ansible automation technology.

I'm going to teach you, example by example, how to accomplish the most common System Administrator tasks.

Each of the lessons summarizes an Ansible module and real-world use case that you could use in your journey: from the most important parameter to some live demo of code and real-life usage. Each code is battle-tested in real-life scenarios. Console interaction and verification are included in every video. Automate every mundane activity in Linux related to the Security of a System, like setting up an Ansible Controller, executing an Ansible Execution Environment to take advantage of the container technology, signing and verifying the Ansible Project using GPG public and private keys, resolving mismatched checksum and GPG issues, and setup httpd or apache webserver in a Docker container. Included the code tested in your network's server using Amazon Linux, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, and Linux Alpine.

There are some Ansible codes usable in all Linux systems.

Are you ready to automate your day with Ansible?
