Ansible Certification : Basics to Professional

Learn how Ansible drives infrastructure as code with configuration management, enabling automated deployments, scalable web applications, and reliable uptime across thousands of servers.

Explore the Ansible architecture and practical DevOps workflows by building playbooks, managing EC2 instances, configuring SSH access, and automating updates and remote execution.

Set up an Ansible master to access and manage EC2 instances, create an infra admin user with password authentication, enable sudo privileges, and configure SSH for remote access.

Set up ansible access across multiple users by generating ssh keys, configuring authorized_keys, and enabling passwordless connections for smooth administration.

Install and configure Ansible, set up sudo privileges, and prepare the hosts file; then establish ssh connections to multiple IPs and verify reachability with an ansible all -m ping.

Learn to use ansible ad hoc commands and playbooks to manage hosts, configure host files, and run modules such as ping, command, copy, and user to automate tasks.

Explore how to write and run Ansible playbooks with tasks and modules, using YAML syntax, host definitions, and proper indentation to manage EC2 instances and user operations.

Copy a directory and manage files with an Ansible playbook, using the file module, tasks, YAML syntax, hosts, and become root access, plus ad hoc commands for quick operations.

Learn to copy files with Ansible using the vi editor and the copy module, configuring src, dst, permissions, and yaml playbooks for all hosts.

Learn to convert nodes into web service using an Ansible playbook that installs and starts httpd, creates a basic index.html, and configures inbound rules for http access.

Master ansible handlers by defining a handler in a playbook and triggering it with notify from a task. Learn how blocks and yaml modules coordinate service actions like httpd start.

Explore how to declare, reference, and manage variables in an Ansible yaml playbook, including defining usernames, using braces and quotes, and understanding variable precedence.

Set up a tomcat environment with an ansible playbook on ec2 instances, covering java prerequisite, tomcat download and extraction, startup script, and opening 8080 for testing.

Explore how to structure ansible roles, including variables, tasks, and handlers, and build a pragmatic playbook to install and configure Apache httpd using files and defaults.

Learn how to encrypt and decrypt Ansible playbooks using vault and a password. Apply secure, confidential practices with vault commands to protect large playbooks and sensitive content.
