You will install automation controller and private automation hub, manage users, teams and credentials, launch jobs from Git-hosted projects, build workflows and dynamic inventories, configure the platform as code through its API and webhooks, review performance with Red Hat Insights and scale out with automation mesh.
What you'll learn
- Discussion of the architecture of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.
- Installation and configuration of automation controllers and private automation hubs to centrally coordinate and scale Red Hat Ansible Automation.
- Integration of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform with centralized Git repository services such as GitLab.
- Management of users, teams, and access permissions in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform services.
- Creation and management of workflows that execute automation based on the success or failure of previous jobs.
- Configuration and management of automation mesh to distribute execution between automation controller and remote execution nodes.
- Troubleshooting and maintenance of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform services.
- Discussion of recommended practices to ensure high availability and scalability of a large automation cluster.
Curriculum
12 modules
- Explain what Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is and perform a basic installation of automation controller and automation hub.
- Create user accounts and organize them into teams/groups in automation controller and automation hub, and assign them permissions to administer and access resources in each service.
- Create inventories of machines to manage, and configure credentials necessary for automation controller's execution nodes to log in and run Ansible jobs on those systems.
- Create projects and job templates in the web UI, using them to launch Ansible Playbooks that are stored in Git repositories, in order to automate tasks on managed hosts.
- Configure advanced features of automation controller in order to more effectively and efficiently implement jobs.
