Book Description
A collection of over seventy-five solution-focused recipes, “Ansible DevOps Cookbook” will show you how to use Ansible to fix problems, simplify operations, and boost the efficiency of your DevOps practices. Clear, step-by-step directions are provided for every recipe in this cookbook, covering everything from basic setup to advanced techniques.
You should start by creating an efficient inventory system, configuring control and managed nodes, and setting up your Ansible environment. You can implement effective solutions such as handling more complex playbook techniques, such as working with variables, facts, conditionals, loops, and more. You will be skillful to organize playbooks and create reusable automation with Ansible roles. You can increase your automation capabilities by accessing community-driven content through Ansible Galaxy, which is explained in the book.
When it comes to cloud integration, the book goes into great detail on how to automate deployments on AWS, Azure, and GCP. These recipes show how to use Ansible modules for managing and provisioning cloud infrastructure, so you can manage resources efficiently and ensure high availability and performance. Ansible, Jenkins, and GitLab are among the many of the tools covered in this book, which teaches you to automate the build, test, and deployment pipeline as part of continuous integration and continuous delivery.
From playbook errors to inventory management issues, this cookbook has solutions to fix it all. Ansible Tower and AWX are implemented in the last chapters to automate enterprise-grade tasks, including job scheduling, monitoring, and role-based access control. This book’s practical, real-world solutions will help you improve your DevOps practices and maximize the effectiveness of Ansible in your automation processes.
