A wealth of knowledge that has been painstakingly assembled to help you on your journey with Ansible. In "The Ansible Workshop," you will deep dive into the world of Ansible, the amazing automation tool that converts complex IT tasks into a set of easy, simple-to-repeat steps. This guide is your roadmap to mastering Ansible, whether you are a novice just starting to use Ansible or an intermediate user who has already used Ansible and is looking for additional information and tricks to enhance your skills. To start with, we will unwrap the essence of Ansible. You will explore what Ansible is, its declarative vs imperative automation approach, and dive into its architecture that exposes Ansible's inner workings. This is basically building the foundation for everything shown henceforth. At its core, Ansible is configuration management and application deployment. You will learn how to use ad-hoc commands and playbooks to automate server configurations and application deployment. We will cover creating simple playbooks and developing advanced ones, giving you the tools required to manage multiple scenarios and orchestrate complex tasks. In a containerized world that we live in today, integrating Ansible with Docker and Kubernetes is invaluable. You will learn how to build, tag, and push Docker images, as well as manage Docker containers, networks, and volumes, and even orchestrate Docker using Ansible. For the fans of Kubernetes out there, we dive into deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters using Ansible and Kubespray, then we explore how to deploy your workloads to Kubernetes using Ansible.

This book provides a comprehensive learning journey aimed at helping you master Ansible and efficiently automate a range of enterprise network devices, such as routers, switches, firewalls, Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), and Linux servers. Introduction to Ansible Network Automation combines the fundamentals of three books into one, covering basics of Linux administration, Ansible concepts, and Ansible network automation. Authors Brendan Choi and Erwin Medina have created a structured learning path that starts with the fundamentals and allows you to progressively enhance your skill sets with each chapter. Part I serves as an Ansible primer, guiding you through Linux basics using WSL on Windows 11 and assisting in the setup of your learning environment. Part II covers essential Ansible concepts through practical lab activities involving four Linux servers. In Part III, you will learn how to apply your Linux skills from Part I and the concepts from Part II to real-world scenarios by creating Ansible automation YAML scripts. Ansible is a powerful open source automation tool that helps manage infrastructure, software deployments, and application configuration across numerous servers and IP devices. System administrators can define and automate workflows, called playbooks, that can perform various tasks such as installing software, managing services, configuring settings, and deploying applications.
