RH294 – Red Hat System Administration III: Linux Automation

Description

Overview:

Red Hat System Administration III: Linux Automation (RH294) is designed for Linux system administrators and developers who need to automate provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration. You 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.

Prerequisite(s):

Pass the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam (EX200), or demonstrate equivalent Red Hat Enterprise Linux knowledge and experience

Audience:

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, and integrating with DevOps continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows

Outline:

Lesson 1: Introduce Ansible

• Describe Ansible concepts and install Red Hat Ansible Engine

Lesson 2: Deploy Ansible

• Configure Ansible to manage hosts and run ad hoc Ansible commands

Lesson 3: Implement playbooks

• Write a simple Ansible Playbook and run it to automate tasks on multiple managed hosts

Lesson 4: Manage variables and facts

• Write playbooks that use variables to simplify management of the playbook and facts to reference information about managed hosts

Lesson 5: Implement task control

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

Lesson 6: Deploy files to managed hosts

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

Lesson 7: Manage large projects

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

Lesson 8: Simplify playbooks with roles

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

Lesson 9: Troubleshoot Ansible

• Troubleshoot playbooks and managed hosts

Lesson 10: Automate Linux administration tasks

• Automate common Linux system administration tasks with Ansible
