Hey folks, in this video we will cover Ansible documentation.
I'm sure you are learning Ansible for the very first time and it is very important that you should have
access to all the online resources where you could go and read about it, understand more about Ansible.
So there are many, many online documentation you find, but the official ones are.
The first one is Docs Mashable.com.
Let me go with you and we'll cover each one of them one by one.
So right here I have copy and paste all of them in a notepad and we'll go together.
And this is the main official documentation page for Ask.com.
You can go to Ansible Community Documentation, Platform documentation, Ansible Core documentation,
Ansible Galaxy and there are many more documentation you can go one by one and inside of these links
you can find additional documentation related to specifically its galaxy land collection and all the
topics that are mentioned here.
All right, then we have the next one is Docs Apple.com, which is the same website but the different
page, which is Ansible Dash latest.
It tells you all the information about the latest version of Ansible.
So where let's go to my notepad, which is right here again, I'm going to copy it.
I'm going to go to my Firefox pasted right here and here is the latest Ansible documentation.
So right now the latest is 2.9 and the version selection.
Maybe by the time you are watching this video, it would be a different version.
Of course, the higher version.
But anyway, regardless which version you are on, you could come to this URL and I'll bring you to
the latest version right here.
You could click on the dropdown menu and you will find either 2.9 or just simply click on latest and
we'll keep you here.
And here you will find its installation guide, installing Ansible, configuring Ansible, getting started.
All the documentation you need to be an expert in Ansible, you will find right here.
All right, very good.
Let's go back to our slide.
And the next URL we have is Apple.com slash resources.
So this is the one directly on the Ansible dot com website URL and I'll go ahead and copy and paste.
And here we have this Ansible website supported by Red Hat and you will find all the information on
Ansible automation based on the products or solutions that you are putting together.
So this one is for network, this one is for rester, 405 is the network device.
This one is five steps to automate your business automation platform on Microsoft Windows.
If you want to automate task on Windows, definitely come in here and read all the documentation of
Windows security automation with Ansible to the data sheet and many other resources that you can find
here.
Going back to our slide, the next one is on Red Hat Topics, Automation, Learning, Ansible Tutorial.
All right.
So for that, I'll just copy this entire link.
And go to our Firefox.
Simply paste that in there and I'll get the list of learning ansible basics.
Here are all the information that you need about Ansible.
Now, this one is it doesn't matter if you are learning Ansible as an open source or Ansible, which
is the purchase or licensed product from RedHat.
It will give you all the information because both of them are similar.
Ansible Playbook you click on it, it will take you deep inside of the playbook and one to another,
one to another, and then you'll find all the related documentation about Ansible.
All right.
The next one is about the Ansible webinars in training.
This is one of the most important link that I'm sharing with you.
And by the way, all of these links that I am sharing, I will list them on this lecture.
So you could actually click on each of them instead of just doing a copy paste.
All right.
So what I was saying is one of the most important ones that I always keep it handy in my favorites of
my browser is this one Webinars and training, Ansible or Red Hat offers many webinars and many free
training on Ansible.
Yes, they actually conduct most of the time once in a week or maybe once in two weeks.
These sessions on Ansible, which I will highly recommend you, that you should attend them, these
are very beneficial training and you will learn a lot.
They also train you on all the newer things or new features that will be added to Ansible.
So if you go to this URL which.
Let me go here.
Copy this.
And let's go here and paste it here and right here, you'll see it tells you all the upcoming events.
The very first one coming up is April 12th and this one is on April 25th.
And if you want to be reminded of all the webinars or trainings that they have lined up, you should
definitely sign up for it.
You can click on Get Started today.
It will ask you for your email, your information, definitely put that in and next time and they have
these newer webinars and events, they'll send you an email.
So please definitely sign up.
This is very useful for you.
All right, then what we have, we have asthma module documentation.
So if you wanted to know all the modules that are available to you out of the box are not available
in the box or that didn't come with the software or some of the modules that are being built right now.
All that information you can find from this URL.
So let's go to this URL.
And here we have our box.
Let's paste that in.
And here is a list of all the URLs that you have.
For example, if you want to look for a Yum module, you can just simply type Yum.
It will take you there and you could do manage packages with the package manager, gives you more information
when you click on it and it'll give you all the parameters or options that you could specify with the
module.
This is something that I have also covered earlier when we went through the modules topic.
All right, so these were the very important URLs that you should definitely keep it handy or make it
favorite on your browser.
And as you are learning Ansible, these URLs or these websites with documentation will be very, very
helpful and useful to you.
The list of possible resources does not end here.
You could go online, search for Ansible and you can find a ton of resources on Ansible.
Do you know you can also get help from Ansible Community as well?
Yes.
In this video, this is what we are going to cover.
What are the URLs or resources that we could go to and find help from the Ansible community?
