Automate and streamline Linux system administration with Ansible.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible (AU294) teaches Linux administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers how to automate complex and repetitive IT tasks—including system provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration.
Through guided labs, participants gain practical experience building automation workflows using Ansible Core 2.16, Ansible development tools, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 and 2.6 within a modern development environment such as Visual Studio Code.

This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 10.
