Ansible Learning Resources

There are many excellent free self-guided and paid instructor-led training options for Ansible training. Here are some of our favorites:

• Red Hat Training Ansible Basics Course: This is a no-cost video series course for beginning to intermediate level that will introduce you to Ansible automation and the Ansible Automation Platform.
• Instruqt Ansible Labs: Free, open labs to explore and learn various quick topics in a provisioned lab environment.
• Red Hat Ansible Workshops: Workshop environments for instructor-guided and self-guided exploration of various topics. These last longer than the Instruqt labs. These are provisioned on a public cloud and the cloud run time is paid for by Red Hat.
• Ansible on the Developers Site: Through the Red Hat Individual Developer program, you can leverage subscriptions for learning and personal, non-production use of Red Hat subscriptions.
• Ansible for DevOps: An excellent book by Jeff Geerling. If you buy it through LeanPub, all future updates and versions of the book are included in your purchase.
• Ansible 101 video series: A YouTube video series by Jeff Geerling, for complete beginners. This series is about 2 years old now, so some newer features may be missing.
• Red Hat Skills Assessment: If you are not sure where to start, you can take an assessment here which will help guide you to your next step.
