Lessons

1. Lesson 1 demonstrates how to get started with Ansible. Get up and running as fast as possible. Run some tasks using Ansible to understand what it is doing and how it is doing it.
2. Lesson 2 covers Ansible architecture and the different components that are typically involved in an Ansible environment. Understand how to run a successful Ansible deployment, and learn about modules, which are probably the most important parts of Ansible; they enable you to do anything in an Ansible environment.
3. Lesson 3 covers Ansible playbooks. A playbook contains the instructions that are needed to run tasks in an Ansible environment, and they are written in the YAML format. Get started with YAML and create and run playbooks.
4. Lesson 4 demonstrates how to work with variables, facts, and inclusions. All of these make Ansible more flexible. By using these different components, you can apply parameters in a flexible way even if the configuration might change.
5. Lesson 5 discusses more items that make Ansible such a flexible solution. Work with flow control in an Ansible environment, look at using conditionals, and create some templates. These items make it possible to easily apply host-specific parameters in configuration files and in a flexible way.
