Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure).
Description
In a modern DevOps context, automation is no longer an option: it is a prerequisite for fast, efficient and error-free delivery.
Ansible, an open-source IT automation tool, allows you to configure servers, deploy applications, orchestrate tasks and integrate your CI/CD processes in an agentless, declarative, simple and robust manner.
Learn how to automate your infrastructures, from getting started to advanced integration of Ansible into a DevOps workflow.
You will discover how to create effective playbooks, structure and manage your inventories, roles and variables, and then execute your automations continuously using tools such as GitLab CI, Jenkins or any other integration system.
Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
GOOD TO KNOW
This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.
objectives of this Ansible Training Master DevOps Automation
By the end, each participant will be able to :
- Understand the fundamentals of automation with Ansible.
- Create effective, reusable, and organised playbooks (roles, variables, handlers).utomatically deploy packages, configuration files, and services
- Manage complex environments via dynamic inventories.
- Integrate Ansible into a CI/CD pipeline with GitLab, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions.
- Apply best practices for security, structuring, and versioning.
Prerequisites of this Ansible Training Master DevOps Automation
- Basic knowledge of Linux administration and command line
- Familiarity with DevOps concepts (CI/CD, infrastructure as code)
- Experience in an integration or deployment project appreciated
- Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.
