Ansible is an incredible configuration management and provisioning utility that enables you to automate all the things. In this series, you’ll learn everything you need to know in order to use Ansible for your day-to-day administration duties. In video 16 (the final episode) we’ll learn how to create templates, that can be used to automate the creation of configuration files for services/daemons.

Thank you, Jay! Appreciate your effort. The series is laid out perfectly.. started simple and added the complex part as moved on. You are a fantastic teacher š
Hi my dear friend. this course helped me so much and let me understand bases of ansible better and let me learn some cool trick. Thank you so much for this course. Also I have this question that I am documenting my understandings from Ansible , Is it possible to use your videos as a resourse? I want to publish it very soon in my LinkedIn account. If it's possible please let me know and give me your LinkedIn account ID. Regards
Thank you Jay.
Thanks for a great series. You have well put together and clear teaching style
Great ansible tutorial and easy to understand.
It was very useful. Thank you very much
great video, I would add though that you do not need to add the workstation ip to the host variables, I didn;t do that and it worked just fine.
Great series, it is very useful! Could you please add the episode about troubleshooting Ansible playlists. Thank you!
Great job on this series….Thank you and best of all
Great series for beginners.
hi jay, can you explain please dynamic inventory ?
This is VERY well done. You've done a great job helping break down the seemingly complex nature of Ansible. It's not as complex as I thought. Keep up the good work.
I watched all your Ansible videos, good stuff, thank you. What about Ansible shell and command modules?
Great series. Learned quiet a bit!
thanks jay, please continue with ansible
Great job, Jay. Thank for all your hard work and for saving me so much time to go through tons of documentation before I can do something useful with Ansible.
This course has given me a massive grounding and understanding of Ansible. Great course and at great pace. Thank you
Your videos are always awesome and I donāt know how you do that but youāre a damn Senior Engineer. Thank you š
Awesome series, Great Job. The approach was spot on
Great tutorial for ansible and very helpful. Thanks for these series of ansible and we hope next would be ansible Tower š
Awesome series! thank you Jay…. Would love to see maybe a tutorial on regex and Ansible or just regex ? Might be too advanced but actually would love to see more advanced stuff on Ansible and Linux in general…Anyway, thank you for your channel – really good stuff!
Phenomenal Ansible series Jay!!! You have a rare gift of presenting technical processes. Thank you.
This was an excellent series which covered not only the basics of Ansible but also gave some guidelines and best practices on how to set everything up. Loved it. Thanks a lot Jay ā¤
God bless you man
Dedicated 19 days of my time and what a ride it has been. Can't thank you enough Jay. God Bless You! You indeed have a unique Gift which only a few have. you make the most complex of things seem like child's play. thanks you once again and keep it going. I have hooked
Just binged the whole series. I've been using ansible for a while, but this definitely helped clarify some things I've been doing poorly. Thanks for putting it together!
Very helpful!
Wonderful. Thank you so much for this. The best ansible series i have ever seen. Could you please make a series on kubernetes also.
Outstanding content!
Great presentation…series is a most referable for beginners to experts…Thanks Jay for the knowledge sharing…
awesome series
Edit: Found it! For those of you interested, the git repo is located at: https://github.com/LearnLinuxTV/getting_started_with_ansible

Question: Is the final Git Repo available to the public? I'd really like to see the completed file structure. Thanks!
Outstanding work on this series of videos. Ansible's Wiki leaves something something to be desired, particularly for beginners. My ADD is strong, but you kept my attention and I was able to absorb the clear and concise foundation of knowledge you provide. I can't wait to deploy these techniques in my homelab of ~20 or so hosts, and retire my ever-growing bash script library :).
You're the man.
Thank You so much, very well explained.
Well after all these years. I FINALLY found a series that I could relate too. Time for me to grow professionally using Ansible and this was my springboard. Thank you so so so so much.
Great series, thank you very much! ā¤ļø
Just getting into using Ansible at work. A very helpful and clearly explained series. Thank you for all your videos Jay
Awesome series! Really, thank you so much. I had trouble starting with ansible and in what it seemed to me a really short time (in reality it was like a course) the knowledge I gathered was huge! Keep up!!
Thank you so much for this amazing series they really helped me a lot, but in this last one when I copied the ssh template and the ssh restart it failed, breaking my 2 VM's, one with parrot os and other with fedora, it says config file has errors, even after I deleted the allow users line so the file is exactly as it was, on the parrot os after purging and reinstalling ssh-server it says cant find sshd.service
Thank you so much Jay.
