In this lesson, we’ll discuss about the Ansible Modules, Ansible Adhoc commands, working with shell module using Adhoc commands, Package managing with Adhoc command, Adding and Manage users Using Adhoc command and Adding MySQL DB to a Remote Host.

In this practice, you will learn how to work with Ansible adhoc commands with shell module with the host inventory file.

In this practice, you will learn how to manage packages in the managed nodes by installing Docker and installing Apache with Adhoc commands.

In this practice, you will learn how to create and manage user, and group using Adhoc command in managed nodes using Adhoc commands.

In this practice, you will learn how to work with MySQL database module with Ansible Adhoc commands and add MySQL Database on to the managed node.

In this lesson, we’ll have a brief explanation on YAML and its Features, Ansible Playbook, Creating an Ansible Playbook, Configuration using Playbook, deploying a sample Web Application using Ansible playbook

In this practice, you will learn how to write an Ansible Playbook to execute multiple tasks and configure Machine (nginx server).
