What is a CI/CD pipeline?

A CI/CD pipeline is an automated workflow that builds, tests, and deploys code or infrastructure changes through defined stages. In this course, you learn to integrate Ansible into CI/CD pipelines so infrastructure provisioning runs automatically and consistently.

What is dynamic inventory in Ansible?

Dynamic inventory is an Ansible feature that automatically discovers and lists infrastructure hosts instead of relying on static files. It is essential for managing cloud environments where servers are created and removed frequently.

What are the prerequisites for this course?

This intermediate Ansible course recommends a basic understanding of Ansible playbooks, Jenkins, YAML, Amazon EC2, and IAM. Access to an AWS Free Tier account is also recommended for the cloud provisioning demonstrations.

What topics are covered in this course?

This Ansible DevOps integration course covers playbook performance optimization, dynamic inventory and cloud provisioning, testing and debugging with Molecule, CI/CD pipeline integration, environment promotion, and governance through RBAC, compliance, and auditing.

Is this course suitable for beginners?

This is an intermediate-level Ansible course. Beginners are encouraged to start with the foundational courses in the Specialization, as this course assumes you can already write and structure Ansible playbooks and roles.

Do I need a cloud account to complete this course?

Cloud provisioning in this course is demonstrated using AWS. An AWS Free Tier account is recommended for practicing dynamic inventory and cloud provisioning with Ansible, though the core concepts can be understood without one.

Is this a follow-along course?

Yes. This is a follow-along Ansible course built around hands-on demonstrations, so you can replicate each technique in your own environment as you learn playbook optimization, cloud provisioning, testing, and CI/CD integration.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Ready to take your Ansible automation beyond basic provisioning and into production-grade DevOps workflows? This course teaches you how to scale, optimize, test, and govern Ansible automation so it performs reliably across real infrastructure.

The course combines concise concept videos with hands-on demonstrations, so you learn each technique and then watch it applied in a real Ansible environment. You will benchmark and refactor playbooks, configure dynamic cloud inventory, debug failed runs, and execute provisioning through a CI/CD pipeline, following along with guided demos at each stage. By the end of this course, you will be able to: 1. Optimize Ansible playbook performance using execution strategies, forks, and fact caching 2. Configure dynamic inventory and cloud inventory plugins for changing infrastructure 3. Test and debug Ansible playbooks using linting, idempotency checks, and Molecule 4. Integrate Ansible into CI/CD pipelines with governance, RBAC, and auditing This course is ideal for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and infrastructure engineers who can already write Ansible playbooks and roles and want to run automation at production scale. Before starting, you should have a basic understanding of Ansible playbooks, Jenkins, YAML, Amazon EC2, and IAM, along with an AWS Free Tier account for the cloud demonstrations. Enroll now to build production-grade Ansible automation skills and a hands-on DevOps portfolio.

Develop Ansible workflows for performance, scalability, and reliability. Apply execution strategies, fact caching, dynamic inventory, cloud plugins, testing, and debugging. Optimize playbooks, manage dynamic infrastructure, and troubleshoot automation issues.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Ansible is an open-source IT automation tool used for configuration management, application deployment, and infrastructure provisioning. It is agentless, meaning it requires no software on managed nodes, and uses simple, readable YAML files to define automation tasks.

Ansible automation is the practice of using Ansible playbooks, roles, and inventories to perform repeatable infrastructure tasks without manual effort. It allows teams to provision servers, manage configurations, and deploy changes consistently and reliably at scale.

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations to deliver applications and infrastructure faster and more reliably. It emphasizes automation, continuous integration and delivery, collaboration, and continuous improvement across the software lifecycle.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
