Ansible is a popular infrastructure as code tool for server configuration and software deployment. This tutorial will cover things that I wish the first day that I started using Ansible to manage the projects at my work.
Ansible is a popular Python package for declarative configuration of servers that includes batteries (for example, encrypted vault for secrets and Jinja template engine). As a Swiss Army knife, Ansible is capable of solving my problems but come with many features that novices will not know how to use. This tutorial is hands-on and will guide attendees to learn the core features of Ansible. Attendees must have Podman or Docker installed in the machine they will use during the tutorial.
