Our training portfolio has expanded to include Ansible training dedicated to Ansible Tower. We have introduced this brand new Ansible training course to the our DevOps, platform, and infrastructure management curriculum portfolios.

Our Ansible portfolio now takes you from introducing the basics of Ansible in our technical overview course walk through of Ansible Playbooks to our Automation with Ansible I (DO407)  course all the way to our new course on Ansible Tower, Automation with Ansible II: Ansible Tower (DO409).  

What am I going to learn by taking this course?

Building on the skills learned in Automation with Ansible I (DO407), this Ansible Tower training is designed to help centrally manage Ansible projects in a way that scales to large teams and complex enterprise installations using Ansible Tower. By taking this course, IT admins will learn how to:

  • Install Ansible Tower
  • Configure users and teams to access Ansible Tower resources using role-based access controls
  • Use Ansible Tower to manage shared access to inventories and machine credentials
  • Create job templates and workflow job templates to standardize playbook execution
  • Launch playbooks, and monitor and review job results using Ansible Tower

 

 

 

 

YOU PROBABLY HAVE QUESTIONS.

ANSIBLE = HIGHEST PAYING DEVOPS SKILL?

Yes! In an earlier blog post, we highlighted that Ansible was named the highest-paying DevOps skill in the land by Dice.com’s annual salary survey. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to not only advance your career and your salary, but on the automation and DevOps solution swapping the global.

 

BUT WAIT. WHAT IS ANSIBLE EXACTLY?

Don’t worry. I asked the question so that you didn’t have to.

Before answering, let’s set the scene first. IT organizations must become nimble and work together to stay relevant.  In a complex IT environment, even the smallest tasks can take forever. Sprawling systems are hard to develop, deploy, and maintain. Business demands only increase complexity, and IT teams struggle with management, availability, and cost. Enter Ansible.

In extremely simple terms, Ansible is IT automation made easy. In more eloquent terms, Ansible is simple, agentless IT automation technology that can improve your current processes, migrate applications for better optimization, and provide a single language for DevOps practices across your organization.

Ansible is key to modernize and bridge the gap between traditional IT environments and newer, agile implementations, migrate and leveraging automation to migrate applications to new infrastructures, and optimize everything and deploy continuously. DevOps doesn’t need to be the legendary unicorn nor does it need to be complex. Ansible gives IT admins the power to begin automating away the drudgery from their daily tasks, to crush complexity, and to share and spread solutions.
