Welcome to the Puzzle Ansible Techlab. This is an introductory course for getting to know the basics of the Ansible configuration management system.

Target Audience

This Course is targeting Linux system administrators with working knowledge of Linux but had not yet had exposure to the Ansible configuration management system. A familiarity with the basic concept of configuration management is not a pre-requisite.

Techlab Setup

This Ansible techlab assumes each participant has a cluster of three virtual machines available. Namely:

  • a control host
  • two nodes called node1 and node2

The cloud-based lab infrastructure is provided if you are following a Puzzle-guided Techlab.

To run techlab environment locally there is a guide for Vagrant based virtual hosts in the setup section of this website.
