Ansible
This Ansible learning path begins with foundational knowledge of Ansible architecture, environment setup, and basic ad-hoc commands, progressing to more advanced playbook creation, variable management, and the use of roles and collections for reusability. Ultimately, it equips learners with the skills for efficient and scalable enterprise automation, including infrastructure as code, security automation, CI/CD integration, and managing large-scale deployments.

Ansible
In these video courses you will explore Ansible in action as you build from the basics, like ad-hoc commands and playbooks, to advanced automation techniques for enterprise environments, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and large-scale deployments.
Ansible Hands-On
In these hands-on labs you will put your Ansible skills to the test through practical labs that guide you from running simple commands to building reusable automation with roles, securing infrastructure, and managing real-world deployments at scale.
- By the end of this learning path, you’ll be able to:
- Understand Ansible architecture and how it fits into automation workflows
- Set up your Ansible environment and run basic ad-hoc commands
- Create, structure, and manage playbooks for repeatable automation
- Use variables, roles, and collections to build modular and reusable automation
- Automate infrastructure provisioning using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles
- Integrate Ansible with CI/CD pipelines for streamlined deployments
- Apply Ansible in enterprise scenarios including security automation and large-scale operations
- Before diving in, learners should have:
- **Basic command line skills** (Linux/Unix preferred)
- **Familiarity with SSH and remote systems
- **A general understanding of IT infrastructure** (e.g., servers, networks, OS)
- **Intro-level YAML familiarity** (enough to read/edit simple files)
- Containerization
- YAML Essentials
- SSH and Remote Access Management
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- CI/CD Integration with Ansible
