Topic: Ansible 101
As the Ansible documentation explains, Ansible is an IT automation tool. It’s primarily used to configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate more advanced IT tasks. Examples include continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates.

Understanding different terminologies

Introduction to Ansible
-
Ansible installation and setup
-
Establishing password-less connection
-
Ad-hoc commands

There will also be a follow-up Ansible 102 session later. That session will cover complex playbooks, roles, dynamic inventory files, control flow and Galaxy.
