Ansible Training

Ansible Course:
Ansible is an open source tool that automates software provisioning, configuration management, and application deployment. Ansible connects to target systems via SSH, remote PowerShell or via other remote APIs. Being an agent-less system it is easy with Ansible to configure freshly created nodes. Ansible uses human-readable YML syntax and written in Python. This makes Ansible very easy to learn, adopt and enhance. In this course of Ansible training, we start from the fundamentals of automated configuration & provisioning and go on to learn about how to provision and configure complex production grade systems. The course is totally hands-on with ample use-cases and exercises.
