Red Hat System Administration III: Linux Automation (RH294) - On-Demand Course

The Red Hat System Administration III: Linux Automation (RH294) course is a 5-day course that is designed to teach Linux system administrators and developers who need to automate provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration. Students 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.

This class is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and Red Hat Ansible Engine 2.8.

• Installing Ansible / Red Hat Ansible Engine on control nodes.
• Creating and updating inventories of managed hosts and manage connections to them.
• Automating administration tasks with Ansible Playbooks and ad hoc commands.
• Writing effective playbooks at scale.
• Protecting sensitive data used by Ansible with Ansible Vault.
• Reusing code and simplifying playbook development with Ansible roles.

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

Implement task control

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

Deploy files to managed hosts

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

Manage large projects

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

Simplify playbooks with roles

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

Troubleshoot Ansible
