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 learn how to install and configure Ansible on a management workstation and prepare managed hosts for automation. Students 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 are explored.

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

  • Install and configure automation content navigator from Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to run Ansible Playbooks in a container-based automation execution environment.

  • Create and manage inventories of managed hosts, and prepare the hosts for connections from Ansible.

  • Write effective Ansible Playbooks.

  • Reuse code and simplify playbook development with Ansible Roles and Ansible Content Collections.

Audience
  • Linux system administrators, DevOps engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, infrastructure automation engineers, and developers responsible for: automating configuration management; ensuring consistent and repeatable application deployment; the provisioning and deployment of development, testing, and production servers; and integrating DevOps continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows.

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