Description
Learn the Ansible automation technology with some real-life examples.
Every successful IT department needs automation nowadays for bare metal servers, virtual machines, could, containers, and edge computing. Automate your IT journey with Ansible automation technology.
I’m going to teach you, example by example, how to manage files and directories, rename and create empty files, and copy between local and remote in Linux, macOS, and Windows operation systems, which are the most common system administrator tasks.
Each of the 50+ lessons summarizes a specific scenario about file and directory management: creating an empty file, creating a text file, assigning permission to users and groups, renaming files and directories, removing the files and directory, or copying between local and remote and vice-versa. Another useful administrator tool is to assign permission to files or directories as needed. Included compressed zip file or tarball extraction with the most common gzips and bzip2 UNIX formats. Moreover, that is a lesson about file downloading from a URL and verifying the genuineness with the checksum.
You could easily customize the example code with your username and use it in your everyday journey without any additional effort.
Some Ansible codes are usable in all Linux systems, macOS, and Windows, battle-tested in RedHat-like and Debian-like systems.
