Program Overview: What is Ansible?
Ansible is a 24-hour instructor-led program for DevOps engineers, sysadmins, and platform teams automating infrastructure with Ansible. It covers setup and inventory, playbook writing and YAML, roles, variables and Jinja2 templating, Vault and secure automation, and CI/CD integration. Participants finish by building a full-stack automation solution in the capstone.
Training is hands-on across six modules, with each module pairing a focused teach with lab time in a live test infrastructure. Your team completes 6 guided labs on playbooks, roles, Jinja2 templating, and CI/CD integration, with live instructor coaching as they automate. Pair debugging and reviews of idempotency and security patterns reinforce every concept. The program closes with a five-hour capstone where participants design, build, and run a complete full-stack automation build.
Teams without Ansible discipline manage servers by hand: slow provisioning, configuration drift, and late-night firefighting. This program teaches automation-first infrastructure: idempotent playbooks, reusable roles, Vault for secrets, and Ansible wired into CI/CD. Your engineers learn to manage fleets of servers the way modern DevOps demands: consistent, secure, and repeatable.
They automate a whole stack in the capstone, inventory, roles, secrets, the lot. Manual server work starts looking like a choice, not a necessity.
Six modules and 24 hours: Ansible setup, playbook authoring, roles and templating, Vault security, and CI/CD integration. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a capstone automation project the team plans, builds, and presents. Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train as one group or split into batches, with session materials and lab guides included for every participant.

Teams that Benefit from this Ansible Group Training
This group training is built for DevOps, SRE, and platform groups automating Linux and cloud infrastructure with Ansible. Content adapts to each cohort's roles, stack, and experience, so every batch practices the workflows it owns, from inventory setup to pipeline integration.
Ship reliable automation for every deployment.
DevOps engineers turn manual runbooks into versioned Ansible playbooks, cutting deployment time and drift across environments.
Workflow friction
- Manual deployments slow every release
- Config drift across environments
- Tribal knowledge in shell scripts
How the program helps
- Versioned playbooks for every deployment
- Consistent configs across all environments
- Repeatable, reviewable automation
Practice use cases
- Playbook authoring labs

- Drift remediation
Keep fleets healthy with code-driven ops.
SREs use Ansible for fleet-wide changes, secrets rotation, and incident response playbooks that run the same way every time.
Workflow friction
- Fleet-wide changes take too long
- Secrets scattered across hosts
- Inconsistent incident response steps
How the program helps
- One-command changes across the fleet

Give product teams self-serve automation.
Platform engineers build reusable Ansible roles and templates so product teams provision and configure their own services safely.
Workflow friction
- Every team reinvents provisioning
- No shared automation standards
- Bottlenecks on the platform team
How the program helps
- Reusable roles for every team
- Standard templates and conventions
- Self-serve provisioning paths
Practice use cases
- Role library design
- Template authoring
- Provisioning workflows
Wire automation into every release.
Release engineers run Ansible playbooks as CI/CD stages with gating, rollback, and audit trails for trustworthy deployments.
Workflow friction
- Releases depend on manual steps
- No rollback plan for failed deploys
- Weak audit trails on changes
How the program helps
- Gated pipeline stages with Ansible
- Rollback-ready playbook design
- Full audit trails on every run
Practice use cases
- Pipeline integration labs
- Rollback drills
- Audit reporting
Cohorts train as a cross-functional workforce, with each small group aligned on shared automation standards.
Prerequisites: This program benefits DevOps engineers, SREs, platform engineers, and release teams who manage Linux infrastructure or cloud fleets. Basic Linux and YAML familiarity helps but is not required, and no prior Ansible experience is needed. Content adapts to each cohort's tools, environments, and experience level.

Build Ansible Automation With Idempotent Tasks and Secure Delivery Controls
Edstellar helps infrastructure teams connect repeatable automation with testing, reuse, and operational control. Participants configure inventories, write playbooks, build roles, and manage templates and secrets before integrating delivery pipelines. A full-stack automation exercise brings the work together, with review of idempotency, failure handling, and evidence from gated execution.
- Step 01
Consult
We review Linux infrastructure and release practices to identify needs in inventory design, playbook correctness, reusable roles, secret handling, and pipeline integration.
- Step 02
Plan
We connect control-node and YAML foundations with roles, templates, Vault, and failure handling before integrating dynamic inventory and CI into a complete automation build.
- Step 03
Align
We align instruction with DevOps, SRE, platform, and release responsibilities, using a lab fleet and explicit access boundaries while introducing Ansible fundamentals.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor host inventories, configuration templates, and failure scenarios to familiar environments while preserving check-mode use, idempotency tests, and secure treatment of training secrets.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants refactor roles, test playbooks, and exercise gated pipeline runs, receiving feedback on repeatability, variable design, failure recovery, and the visibility of operational changes.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the automation for idempotent behavior, reusable structure, appropriate secret controls, and a tested delivery path with clear evidence for successful and failed runs.
