Ansible is an open-source IT automation tool. This book includes both the obvious and the less obvious best practices for Ansible automation. Nowadays, every successful IT department relies on automation for bare metal servers, virtual machines, containers, and edge computing. Automate your IT journey with Ansible technology.
You will begin by installing Ansible on Enterprise Linux, Community Linux, Windows, and MacOS using the most common package managers and archives.
Each of the 200+ lessons summarizes a module, covering everything from the most important parameters to Ansible code and real-life applications. Each code has been battle-tested in real-world scenarios. Mundane tasks such as creating a text file, extracting and archiving data, and fetching repositories using HTTPS or SSH connections can be automated with just a few lines of code. These examples are just a small portion of the extensive list included in the course.
Some Ansible scripts are applicable across all Linux systems, while others are specific to RedHat, Debian, and Windows systems.
The 20+ troubleshooting lessons will teach you how to read error messages, reproduce errors, troubleshoot issues, and resolve them.
Are you ready to automate your day with Ansible?
The examples in the book have been tested with the latest versions of Ansible 2.9+ and Ansible Core 2.11+.
