Ansible is an automation tool for IT tasks. It is popular and widely accepted, because 1) it’s usage of simple YAML language and 2) support for all types of infrastructure starting from Clouds to Virtual to bare metal servers.
In this video I explain examples of various IT tasks and how Ansible helps automate them to make daily DevOps tasks more efficient and less time consuming. 🙌🏼
I explain HOW Ansible does all this by going through its architecture:
👉🏼 Ansible Modules (small programs that get executed on target machines)
👉🏼 Ansible Playbook (instructions on HOW these programs get executed)
👉🏼 Ansible Inventory (list of hosts, WHERE those programs gets executed)
In the end I also show how Ansible makes working with Docker more efficient and powerful and how it compares to similar automation tools like Puppet and Chef.

May 05, 2022 10:28 amMam recently learned docker from your video on docker tutorials. Mam it's a request if you can make a detailed zero to hero video for Ansible and Terraform technology. It will benefit a lot of people who are aspiring to learn this new technology.
Many thanks for your informative video.

May 05, 2022 10:28 amKinda sounds like this product is for noob admins who would rather install and learn a whole new thing than just learn to code. Like, who tf is logging into all these hosts to perform the same IT task? Do you not know how to automatically run a bash script on them all at the same time? No? And rather than learn, you'd prefer to install a bloated software middleman and its additional server load so you can define your tasks in yaml instead of sh?

May 05, 2022 10:28 amThanks for a great intro to ansible, I liked comparison with puppet/chef
Mohd Danish
May 05, 2022 10:28 amIt is great as it is Agentless but only for linux nodes, what about windows nodes where it needs to run Remoting powershell script beforehand , though it is not equivalent to agent but still it needed, right?
or I am missing something ?

May 05, 2022 10:28 amYou didn't mention saltstack in the main alternatives, why?
David CHALON
May 05, 2022 10:28 amHi thx for this video.
At 11', is the syntax exact?
No dash before first playbook, but one dash before the second? (on the host key line)
Same at 11'45

May 05, 2022 10:28 amwould you mind clearing my 1 doubt, that suppose we install python with apt , so, after that python may have installed at any path in the node(host), and obviously, we need to set this path in env variable as well in $PATH, so that python or suppose any other tool can be accessible from any path, So, ansible does it automatically or we have to separately set that path also in $PATH.
