Course Overview

This course focuses on leveraging Ansible's robust automation platform to manage remote hosts securely and efficiently, ensuring both scalability and optimal performance across diverse architectures. 

This course begins with the installation of Ansible Automation Platform on both x86 and ARM architectures and explores advanced setups like event-driven controllers and Kubernetes integration via Red Hat OpenShift Platform (OCP). It covers containerized installations, resource optimization, profiling, and troubleshooting for a seamless automation experience. You'll also learn to execute custom lookup plugins, backup and restore automation platforms, and craft custom Ansible collections to publish on Automation Hub.
