Introduction

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible (RH294) is intended for Linux system administrators and developers who need to automate provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration.

Students will learn how to install and configure Ansible on a management workstation and prepare managed hosts for automation. Students will write Ansible Playbooks to automate tasks, and run them to ensure servers are correctly deployed and configured. Examples of approaches to automate common Linux system administration tasks will be explored.

Course Objectives
  • Install and configure Ansible from Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform on a control node.

  • Create and manage inventories of managed hosts, and prepare them for Ansible automation.

  • Run individual ad hoc automation tasks from the command line.

  • Write Ansible Playbooks to consistently automate multiple tasks and apply them to managed hosts.

  • Parameterize playbooks using variables and facts, and protect sensitive data with Ansible Vault.

  • Write and reuse existing Ansible roles to simplify playbook creation and reuse code.

  • Automate common Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration tasks using Ansible.

Audience
  • Linux system administrators, DevOps engineers, infrastructure automation engineers, and systems design engineers responsible for automation of configuration management, consistent and repeatable application deployment, provisioning and deployment of development, testing, and production servers, and integration with DevOps CI/CD workflows.

Prerequisites
  • Red Hat Certified System Administrator (EX200/RHCSA) certification or equivalent Red Hat Enterprise Linux knowledge and experience.
