Advanced Automation with Ansible - Plan Szkolenia

Ansible solves the problem: "We've got the server configuration we want, we've put in the time figuring it out; now how to we automate all that?"

Ansible is a software platform by Red Hat that can be employed to automate development (Dev) and operations (Ops) tasks. Red Hat offers the open-source solution, Ansible AWX, for better control over applications that are designed and built through Ansible's platform. It is the project from which Red Hat Ansible Tower is derived, making it a fast-paced architecture optimal for flexible teams. With Ansible AWX's web-based interface and automation tools, it can support IT processes in small to mid-scale software development environments.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at DevOps engineers, developers, and project managers who wish to efficiently execute preprogrammed functions and administer software development workflows using the powerful RESTful API of Ansible AWX.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Ansible AWX on their preferred software development environment.
• Understand the DevOps principles and concepts foundational to Ansible AWX.
• Utilize  AWX's automation tools to enhance workflows and facilitate DevOps processes.
• Integrate AWX with external resources to leverage its features and collaborate with teams.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
