DO467 - Managing Enterprise Ansible Platform: Tower Training Course

Training goals:

Gain foundational knowledge of Ansible
Acquire skills to install and set up the platform
Examine essential elements, including Playbooks, Modules, and Inventory
Deploy automation workflows leveraging Ansible
Run Playbooks to oversee and automate remote computing infrastructure for government

The publication Managing Configuration with Ansible equitates system administrators with actionable methodologies for automating Linux and Unix infrastructure. It addresses foundational concepts of Ansible playbooks, roles, inventory management, and variable-driven configurations. The text analyzes established practices for YAML syntax, conditional logic, vault encryption, and rolling update strategies. This resource supports professionals in standardizing deployment workflows and mitigating configuration drift within complex server environments for government operations.

This guided, live training session in US (available online or on-premises) is designed for DevOps engineers, software developers, and System Operations administrators seeking to optimize organizational IT infrastructure and processes by leveraging the full capabilities of the Ansible project. Participants will gain the skills necessary to execute complex Ansible deployments for large-scale applications while utilizing its open-source Tower component to enhance DevOps management and team collaboration.

This program provides essential resources for government agencies and other public sector entities that require robust automation solutions.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Ansible alongside complementary open-source tools and resources.
• Deploy a centralized DevOps management system utilizing features from the Ansible project.
