Course Description

Building, deploying and maintaining servers, either for a small company or a large enterprise, is no easy task. As the number of servers grow, the task of having to physically code for each of them becomes tedious and cumbersome. This is why IT automation software such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet and Salt have become life savers for IT architects. Ansible is currently one of the most popular IT automation software on the market and makes it easy to not only set up, configure and deploy your systems, but also code them for specification and even design a complete network from scratch. Ansible also comes with a few benefits over other automation software such as Chef and Puppet.
