Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible and Exam (RH294) is designed for Linux® system administrators and developers who need to automate provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration. You will learn how to install and configure Ansible® on a management workstation; prepare managed hosts for automation; write Ansible Playbooks to automate tasks; and run playbooks to ensure servers are correctly deployed and configured.

Content

• Describe Ansible concepts and install Red Hat Ansible Engine.

• Configure Ansible to manage hosts and run ad hoc Ansible commands.

• Write a simple Ansible Playbook and run it to automate tasks on multiple managed hosts.

• Write playbooks that use variables to simplify management of the playbook and facts to reference information about managed hosts.

• Manage task control, handlers, and task errors in Ansible Playbooks.

• Deploy, manage, and adjust files on hosts managed by Ansible.

• Write playbooks that are optimized for larger, more complex projects.

• Use Ansible roles to develop playbooks more quickly and to reuse Ansible code.

• Troubleshoot playbooks and managed hosts.

• Automate common Linux system administration tasks with Ansible.

This course is geared toward Linux system administrators, DevOps engineers, infrastructure automation engineers, and systems design engineers who are responsible for these tasks:

• Automating configuration management
• Ensuring consistent and repeatable application deployment
• Provisioning and deployment of development, testing, and production servers
• Integrating with DevOps continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows
