Enablement Recommendations for Ansible Topics

Approach

In order to support the Field-Kit, the enablement goal is to write and troubleshoot ansible. To do this - start experimenting with ansible using core RHLS structured courses and independent learning. Do you have crawl-walk level of these skills:

• Write Playbooks, use Roles, Collections, understand Modules
• Develop ansible command line Troubleshooting skills
• Do you have suggestions for the CoP or tips to share?
  • Installing Ansible Core
  • Developing and Troubleshooting Playbooks

TODO: Identify use cases that are in the Field-Kit
