Ansible core concepts and advanced features: Introduction

“

Hello, and welcome to Ansible Core Concepts and Advanced Features. This video course provides a complete introduction that helps you get started with Ansible. Ansible is the de facto standard for configuration management, and after taking this course, you should be ready to start using it in a smart way. Ansible can be used in many different environments. This course helps you get started with your Ansible journey, managing Linux. I'll tell you what Ansible is and how it is organized. And after that, we'll explore playbooks, modules, content collections, and how to use all of these with variables and conditionals, which brings you up to speed with Ansible in just a few hours. Next, you'll learn how to manage files with Jinja2 templates and rules to include standardized components in Ansible. And once you know about that, we'll have a look at more advanced topics, including the use of filters and plugins, which allow you to extend Ansible functionality easily. Before we get started, let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Sander Van Vugt. I'm an instructor and author living in the Netherlands for where I serve my global customers. I'm the author of bestselling video courses like RHCSA 9 Complete Video Course, Certified Kubernetes Application Developer, and Ansible from Basics to Guru. I'm also the founder of the Living Open Source Foundation, which aims at changing African economies by introducing the benefits of open source with a special focus on providing free education to African students in different open source topics. And to make sure I have the energy to do all of this, I like to participate in triathlons and marathons around the globe. As in my experience, there's nothing better than working out in nature to get fresh and new inspiration to do my work. Now let's wait no longer and get started.
