Little outdated commands, which now has a better and secured way of executing in the version. Also one stop download for all the resources could've have been better

Excellent work! Just an hint: I would have better underlined ansible-lint. You could talk about recent integrations of Ansible in VSCode and ansible-navigator with EE.

The presenter seemed very knowledgable and thorough (sometimes too thorough) explaining the concepts. I appreciated that several times, he made mistakes along the way which he corrected in the video. This is important, because as a practitioner using Ansible, it's inevitable that mistakes will happen, so seeing the mistakes and how to interpret the error messages and correct the mistakes was helpful. At first I found the presenter's accent somewhat difficult to understand, but by the end of the course I had become accustomed to his way of speaking and the accent did not present a problem for me.

This entire course is very much underrated.The course duration is long but this course has covered comprehensively every aspect of Ansible.I was just looking this kind of course where every concept has been explained in a simple and easy to understand manner.

Till now , the course is very good. The instructor explain things in detail so he makes things very clear to understand.
By NEHA PRODDUTURI on 6/11/2024
The course content and the explanation was very helpful. The best thing is the instructor hasn't edited the errors, that is really important because we will come across errors while implementing it. The quick responses to questions is a bonus.

Good learning course for beginners and it could also serve as a refresher course. Suggestions: >>>>>if there are quizzes after all major section it could serve as a recap, before moving on to the next section. >>>>>Section PDF could carry all the points covered in that section. >>>>>if all the pdf and the yml files names could include section number and serial number it will be easy at the time of revising the content. >>>>>if all the pdf and yml etc files are available in one place that will also come as a great help.

I truly enjoyed this course. It helped me to gain knowledge on Ansible Automation and now I have the confidence to write the Ansible playbook on my own. Mainly helped me to set up ansible in my office environment and do automation with the help of the examples given in the sessions. Thanks a Lot.. Very useful sessions...
