Enablement Recommendations: Ansible 101
Goals
Before using the Ansible Automation Platform, the enablement goal is to develop core ansible skills. To do this - start experimenting with ansible using RHLS structured courses and independent learning. Do you have crawl-walk level of these skills:
- Write Playbooks, use Roles, Collections, understand Modules
- Develop your ansible command line Troubleshooting skills
Note:
1: The focus is on building core ansible skills using ansible-core, not AAP 2: These skills can be learned either with or without the Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) 3: AAP topics are introduced in a different section along with use cases
