Automation with Ansible and Ansible Tower

( Duration: 5 Days )

In Automation with Ansible and Ansible Tower training course, you will learn to use Ansible for automation, configuration, provisioning, and management, as well as how to use Red Hat Ansible Tower to centrally manage Ansible at an enterprise scale. You will learn to automate system administration tasks on managed hosts with Ansible, find out how to write Ansible playbooks to standardize task execution, and manage encryption for Ansible with Ansible Vault. This course will also teach you how to deploy and use Red Hat Ansible Tower to centrally manage existing Ansible projects, playbooks, and roles; perform basic maintenance and administration of the Ansible Tower installation; and configure users and teams and use them to control access to systems, projects, and other resources through role-based access controls. You will learn to use Ansible Tower's visual dashboard to launch, control, and monitor Ansible jobs; use the Ansible Tower application programming interface (API) to launch jobs from existing templates; automatically schedule Ansible jobs; and dynamically update host inventories.

By attending Automation with Ansible and Ansible Tower workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Install and troubleshoot Ansible on central nodes and managed hosts.
  • Automate administration tasks with Ansible playbooks and ad hoc commands.
  • Write effective Ansible playbooks.
  • Protect sensitive data used by tasks with Ansible Vault.
  • Install and configure Ansible Tower for enterprise Ansible management.
  • Use Ansible Tower to control access to inventories and machine credentials by users and teams.
  • Create job templates in Ansible Tower to standardize playbook execution.
  • Launch playbooks and monitor and review job results with Ansible Tower.

  • Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) or equivalent practical experience
  • Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) or equivalent practical experience

This Automation with Ansible and Ansible Tower class is designed for professionals responsible for automation of configuration management, application deployment, provisioning and deployment of servers, and integration with DevOps CI/CD workflows, including these roles:

5

Implement task control

  • Manage task control, handlers, and task errors in Ansible playbooks.
6

Deploy files to managed hosts

  • Deploy, manage, and adjust files on hosts managed by Ansible.
7

Manage large projects
