Automating Server Provisioning with Ansible

About this course

Want to move beyond manual, error-prone server setup and automate your infrastructure the way modern DevOps teams do? This three-course Specialization takes you from infrastructure automation fundamentals to scalable, CI/CD-integrated server provisioning with Ansible. You will start with Ansible's agentless, declarative model, set up a control node, and provision a baseline Linux server using idempotent playbooks. You will then design repeatable, multi-tier provisioning workflows with roles, variables, and secure credentials using Ansible Vault. Finally, you will scale and optimize playbook performance, manage dynamic cloud inventory, and integrate Ansible into CI/CD pipelines with governance and auditing. Each course is hands-on, culminating in a project where you provision and manage real server infrastructure. What you will learn across the Specialization: Set up and configure a working Ansible automation environment Build reusable, multi-tier provisioning using roles, variables, and templates Secure credentials and secrets using Ansible Vault Scale, test, and debug automation across dynamic cloud infrastructure Integrate Ansible into CI/CD pipelines with governance and auditing Enroll now to build job-ready Ansible automation skills and a hands-on DevOps portfolio.
