Overview

Ansible is an IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs. Ansible was designed for multi-tier deployments since day one, and models your IT infrastructure by describing how all of your systems inter-relate, rather than just managing one system at a time.

Ansible uses no agents and no additional custom security infrastructure, and it uses a very simple language called "YAML", to compose an Ansible Playbook which allow you to describe your automation jobs in a very simple way.

In this lab, you will the main components of the Ansible configuration management system and its operating environment. You will also develop a simple playbook to practice managing the configuration of a CentOS 7.x VM. For more detail information about ansible, check out the ansible web site at www.ansible.com.
