What we actually do
- · 1. Introduction to Ansible Overview of orchestration systems When to use Ansible vs Terraform What is Ansible? YAML and Jinja basics Data structures and examples in playbooks and roles Core components – variables, inventory, playbooks, modules, tasks
- · 2. Preparing the environment for Ansible Installation methods for Ansible Installing Ansible in a sandbox; maintaining environments long-term Configuring server connections and Ansible inventory Running modules from the command line
- · 3. Working with Ansible Creating your first playbooks Working with variables Roles and collections End-to-end deployment example: creating playbooks, configuration templates, and full application deployment with a database and load balancer Conditional task execution (when) Loops and recurring tasks Task parameterization Environment-specific configuration Reusing existing components
- · 4. Debugging Debugging Ansible runs (missing variables, manifest errors, task execution errors)
- · 5. Ansible Galaxy Overview of role and collection repositories Using ready-made solutions for fast deployments (e.g., MySQL cluster, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes) Community power and how to accelerate work
- · 6. AWX/Tower GUI Concepts for small vs large organizations RBAC permission model overview Running Infrastructure as Code through a web-based interface
- · 7. Multi-environment concepts Dev, Test, QA, UAT, Prod – how to connect and maintain them Variable placement – where to define them for flexibility and convenience
- · 8. Inventory – dynamic, static, hybrid Structuring inventory with subfolders Dynamic inventory examples
