I want to genuinely thank the instructor for delivering such a clear and effective Ansible training. To be honest, I really learned a lot throughout the course. The explanations were practical, well-structured, and easy to follow.

By Dharmesh Kumar on 11/28/2023

This Ansible course is a gem! Clear, concise, and packed with hands-on exercises, it demystifies automation. The engaging teaching style, coupled with real-world examples, makes complex concepts accessible. The course structure is seamless, ensuring a smooth learning curve. An absolute must for anyone diving into Ansible.

By Scott Warner on 9/22/2023

This was a terrific hands-on course that allowed me to learn about Ansible from setup to writing playbooks. I like how it follows a crawl-walk-run format with fundamentals immediately and then builds complexity. I also like the setup of ec2 resources in amazon web services with the different varieties of linux.

By 仁 小澤 on 1/3/2023

Other ansible courses were mostly about teaching features and syntax without too much practical usage. This is the only course that I've taken that taught me how I could use ansible in actual situation. For example, other courses I've took talked about and gave example on how to encrypt password with ansible-vault. This is the only course that taught me to use vars_files to read encrypted vault file into a playbook. Same with explanation on roles, error handling, tags, notify, and facts. The other courses taught me about facts but this was the first course that showed me how to use gathered facts to write a single script to install and setup on centos and ubuntu. The only fault I had was that my system is all on vmware and not on aws. That is, sections on aws were unnecessary for me.

Good Course content starting from basics of ansible and then covered creating playbooks in very detailed way. Labs are easy to follow, most of the course is lab based so its very engaging. Few things that can be updated : 1. Deprecation warning for Python is coming 2. Ansible.cfg file is now removed form the location mentioned in the latest ansible release 3. Git/Github authentication from PAT instead of password etc. Overall very good course for learning ansible for DevOps Engineers.

Hello, Shankar! I am new to the DevOps course, but I really felt very happy after going through your Ansible course. Now, I am more confident in performing automation tasks using playbooks. Really, thanks for the great course. This course would help everyone to understand and better knowledge of Ansible.
