In this Ansible Tutorial I explain what is Ansible, how Ansible works and why to use Ansible for automating IT tasks.
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.

This Ansible tutorial will help you understand why Ansible is needed, what is Ansible, Ansible as a pull configuration tool, Ansible architecture, Ansible playbook, Ansible inventory, how Ansible works, Ansible tower and you will also see a use case on how Hootsuite used Ansible. Increasing team productivity and improving business outcomes have now become easy with Ansible. Ansible is a simple, popular, agent-free tool in the automation domain. Ansible is a tool that allows you to create and control three key areas within the operations environment of the software development lifecycle. The first one is IT automation which allows you to write instructions to automate the IT professional’s work that you would typically do manually in the past, the second is configuration management which allows you to maintain consistency of all systems in the infrastructure and the third is automatic deployment which allows you to deploy applications automatically on a variety of environments. Now let us get started and understand Ansible and it’s architecture.
