Hello. My name is Matt Conran from Network Insight, and
welcome to my course on Red Hat Certified Specialist in
Advanced Automation: Ansible Core.
I'm a lead network and security architect, and I'm based in Dublin, Ireland.
In this course, we'll be discussing the key areas to help
you develop good Ansible automation skills and prepare for
the Red Hat certification.
We will start this course by examining environmental challenges that
are forcing us to begin our automation journey.
I will highlight to you the Ansible architecture while discussing
the connectivity and recommended optimizations.
I will also discuss the basic building blocks of
Ansible, which are the inventory, modules,
playbooks, and ad hoc commands.
We will dive into inventory and playbook variables
and how they can be implemented.
There are variables that you can define and be discovered.
We will also discuss conditional task execution and
the when clause, along with loops.
We will further deep dive into delegation, along with
data manipulation and filtering.
In this course, we'll have theory,
concepts, and demonstrations. And by the end of the course, you will
have a solid understanding of Ansible automation.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn Red Hat Certified Specialist in
Advanced Automation: Ansible Core course, at Pluralsight.
