Dive Into Ansible - Beginner to Expert in Ansible - DevOps

James Spurin develops Ansible from a lab environment into more structured playbooks and integrations. Inventories, facts, modules and roles connect with cloud services, containers and custom extensions. It suits learners with Linux foundations who want to progress from understanding an individual task to organizing an automation project they can inspect and maintain.

What you will learn

• Organize playbooks with roles and tags.
• Explore cloud and container integrations.
• Investigate modules, plugins and troubleshooting.

Who this suits

Linux administration fundamentals are expected. Review the lab setup and any cloud or container requirements before enrolling.

Before you enroll

Practice on disposable systems you control and keep credentials out of playbooks. Check Ansible, Python, collection and operating-system versions before reproducing demonstrations. Review permissions and intended changes before executing automation. Cloud accounts and infrastructure usage may cost extra; set budget limits and remove test resources. Teaching examples require independent review before use on a production system.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Build a small lab role and document its inputs, expected changes and checks needed to confirm a second run leaves the intended state intact.
