You'll also delve into enhancing role development using best practices with ansible-later. The second section covers essential file system management tasks on Linux, such as creating, modifying, and validating files and directories with Ansible modules like file, copy, stat, and get_url. Topics also include automating file reading, creating symbolic and hard links, mounting file systems, and performing file backups with Rsync. The final section provides in-depth guidance on user and group management in Linux, including creating and removing user accounts, managing permissions, and setting up disk quotas.
