Taking you from Beginner to Advanced in one course! Ansible models your IT infrastructure by describing how all of your systems interrelate, rather than just managing one system at a time.

With over 300k students accessing this learning environment, this course is designed to take you from beginner to advanced in one comprehensive course. The course includes hands-on activities that you can practice locally on your system or in your web browser. The course covers Ansible's fundamentals, Inventories, Modules, Variables, YAML, Playbooks, Roles, and more. Quizzes and challenges are also included throughout the course to reinforce the learning experience. The lab environment and hands-on learning approach set this course apart. You'll be hands-on using Ansible from the onset, and all learning is reinforced through beautiful presentations, challenges, and quizzes. Enroll now and take your skills to the next level!
