This was one of the simplest and most straightforward ansible guides I've seen thanks man
Tony why can’t you dance
@@zwabbah4841 Mike Oxlong
I must say that the amount of knowledge I have gained from this channel is unmatched, went from a regular HelpDesk Job to a sysadmin, thanks to the inspiration that chuck brings.
“Ansible” is a term from sci-fi novels for instant communication across the galaxy. It’s put to great effect in the novel Ender’s Game. It’s worth a read, if you happen to have a little time on your hands.
Ain't there a movie too for Enders? Must watch or nah?
@@phabeondominguez5971 Nah, the books are way better!
I knew that sounded familiar! Thank you!
@@calebkandoro4513 for sure but time is of the essence most of the time, at least for me. Used to read mad books as a shorty, but now I find as an adult there is no time... And that's me saying that as a young hustler that RETIRED at age 40....
But I'll try to look into the books as well
oNe
@@MichaelBushey SOLD, that's not a small claim so must check it out, will get to the book one day too though.. thanks
Shawn Powers from CBT NUGGET and Network Chuck are like the best teachers ever..you can always feel the excitement and enthusiasm in their voice, that energy is contagious. and their real-life analogy to the IT concept they are tutoring is second to none and that alone is a winner for me...Thank you so much guys..
Hey NetworkChuck I really enjoy these "how to" types of videos you have been making. I really enjoyed the docker Linode lab you made not long ago and this is another great example of a "how to" video that i got a lot out of. Keep up the awesome content!
Thank you.
Im on to chuck, getting us trained with all these trendy tools. Then he opens a consulting company hiring us out for maximum profit....
i'd be down tbh
I just enjoy the dude's energy, it's contagious
hah trendy tools from 5-10 years ago
I'm totally IN if that happens xD
@@knucklecorn have they all maxed out the hype cycle?
I LOVE Ansible. I've been using/learning it for months and I cannot live without it anymore in my lab work. My programming skills are ordinary, but my Linux skills are pretty good. So it's a perfect match for the my VM-based Cloud lab work. This was a nice intro for people. Ansible is a powerful beast.
What board and software you are using to do the explanation if you don't mind?
I believe he uses adobe photoshop to draw.

Learn it right now!! This is the kind of push I need! You're amazing dude and I can't thank you🙏🙏 enough for the highly informative and to the point fun videos about the latest tech that's out there. I hope your reach grows 100x folds. 👏👏👏🙏🙏 😊
Thank you Kit!! This comment has me fired up!!
Can attest to how intuitive Ansible is. In half a year, I learned basic Ansible to develop a custom CIS template to assist in baselining RHEL systems for an organization. The template can be re-applied periodically on schedule (every 30 mins for example) to assist in maintaining those configurations, not just at the beginning of the systems lifecycle. Just one example of automation! Imagine going through a system and running every hardening command manually... I realize many automation tools exist that are capable of this. However, I would again like to express how easy, and actually fun, it is to learn and use Ansible.
@@dabadoo7631
Answering this based on my past experience, other people might be able to answer that question better than I.
Malicious individuals attempting to circumvent security controls. If someone (a hacker for example) gains administrative access to a system, they might want to change certain settings to make post-exploitation easier, such as communication with C2 or exfiltration of data. Local firewall rules (iptables/firewalld) to allow inbound outbound traffic from the system, for example. If you have a firewall configuration restricting ip/port access, an automated ansible task containing your configuration could overwrite any changes made locally. To accompany this, any kind of alerting mechanism, maybe rsyslog to SIEM for example, for the modification of such firewall configs would be preferable.
Further, insiders or even end users that already have access to the box might be capable of making certain changes that an admin simply does not want to be changed, for one reason or another. Examples could be meeting an approved compliance baseline such as CIS or STIGS, or not wanting to introduce certain risks or vulnerabilities to the system such as users installing and using an unencrypted protocol such as FTP as opposed to an encrypted protocol.
Hope this helps.
Doing unit testing against a 'sacrificial' system, getting screens full of red error messages, updating the role, repeat. And then a 'yellow and green' run. Then a green run. Then you deploy to hundreds of systems and watch them come into line. All that drift corrected. Correcting huge chunks of technical debt in one broad stroke. If you like making computers do what you want them to do, this type of tool is very rewarding.
This is the most easy to understand Ansible video out there. Chuck explains everything so well. I use ansible in my lab for a few things. Mainly at the minute I have ansible playbooks for:
- Deploying VMs
- Removing VMs
- Configuring VMs with a base config to get things started.
- Preparing nodes to become K8s nodes
The best tutorial video I have seen so far on TH-cam. Love the way you deliver the concepts and your energy man.
Hi Chuck, great basic intro to Ansible! Just one thing that would be helpful to us Ansible noobs: since many cloud providers provide access using ssh keys instead of passwords, just cover how you would specify the rsa or pem file instead of the password.
Being a Sr Systems Admin for a large cloud consultancy, I can say, terraform and ansible are pretty much must have knowledge to start managing med-large enterprise or cloud networks period. Chef and Puppet are nice, but most of the companies I've helped I can say default to terraform and ansible about 85% of the time.
Being 5 years into my first job as an Infrastructure Engineer, I can confidently say that my life basically consists of Terraform and Ansible. We have a solid pipeline that deploys VMs with Terraform and then installs/configures software on them post-deployment via Ansible. They work really well together and since they’re infrastructure-as-code tools, all of our playbooks and state files are stored in a code repository for safekeeping.
@@blkbrry4375 as a Windows admin what's the best way to make the move like you did?
What about Vagrant?
Can't agree more. I'm completing my degree rn, using Terraform and Ansible are "absolute duo".
You forgot or didn't know that Saltstack is also a very nice and handful automation system (which can also use Ansible templates since last years) ... which could use also Windows and devices like routers and more
You are an amazing man, the way of teach, give an example and capt the audience, thanks for your support!

im not able to register on linode. i am indian user.
@NetworkChuck or anyone else, Does Ansible work with Solaris OS?
Chuck, great video. I’m already an ansible admin, but I’m definitely going to show this to my junior admins.
I use ansible on my Cisco switches, updating firmware, adding vlans. Adding NTP and correct time zones. Similar things with my Junipers. My VMware environments to auto configure vms from templates in the fly. Scripts for emergency shutdown of physical and virtual machines. I even use ansible on my windows host to install/remove software that isn’t available as an MSI . I even have scripts to fix Windows update issues (windows update not working or hung... deleting software distribution folder, etc). I initially started ansible for updating Linux, but I also have Space for updates and space was easier for my windows admins in the event I get hit by a bus. Any major task I need to do that may need repeated in the future, I’ll go out of my way to write a playbook.
Man this sounds cool , your CV must be massive , do you mind to be my mentor ? followed you on LinkedIn
This might sound really weird, but are you looking to add another super awesome junior admin to your team? Someone who doesn't have much work experience but, has a degree, watches all of NetworkChuck, and totally geeks out over most of the things he covers!
Viraj Hodavdekar unfortunately with everything going on right now, we are in a hiring freeze
You should do videos bro would love to learn from you.
Cool story bro
Thanks man, spent 12h privately grinding ansible, reduced effectively a server setup of 4h into 5 minutes. Now I know stuff, and will save hours in the future like crazy. *THUMBS UP*
Hi, NetworkChuck!
That's perfectly explained! I'm using Ansible for a year now for my tasks in my company and I have seen many tutorials about it, and I have to say yours is one of the most clearest videos I have ever seen. Congrats!!!
Thank you for your videos!
Thank you so much! I was watching videos for the past few days and doing a bunch of reading and couldn't seem to get it until this video!
For sure you don't cover all the stuff related to the topic but you do illuminate passion among the IT folks.Thanks once again for this brilliant work you're doing.....do come up with such Videos again and again and cover many other technologies out there like Jenkins,puppet,chef,etc.
Your presentation, production value and knowledge are all amazing. I loved this video and learned a thing. Thanks :D
the way you explain it, really simplify the information, and make it easy for everyone to understand, so much love
Thank you NetworkChunk your videos always inspire me. Much love all the way from Ghana.
A very nice video, Chuck! Thanks for another great content! Your explanation is excelent and easy to follow, as usual. Keep it up!!
Thank you for your "learn x right now" series of videos, I do keep adding things to my list of things to study, though your videos give quite a big idea about what it entails. This helps us choose the streams we could use to grow our IT career. Knowing a little about a lot of different things definitely helps in IT.
It helps you know one thing..like master it than to try to be The Jack of all trades master of none.
Twice I stopped your video to do more research...afterwards, once I resumed play, I realized you taught what I went on to research (how to remove packages through Playbooks and more module references). Your teaching method is on point, thank you!
Your teaching is insane. I love it. You are by far the BEST GURU I have ever found on youtube. Hands Down.
16:55 The suspense! The thrills! "So many cool things happened just now!"
I have to say this is the most helpful video I’ve seen in a while. I’m a Student Sys Admin at my college and I was tasked to make an ansible server for our student GNS3 severs in order to automate lab creation. Needless to say I was very lost and found your video shortly after… I have seen the light!!! Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ve always loved your content!
Hey Chuck! That was a perfect timing cuz I was writing some initial playbooks.
You are really practical and I like it!
😀
Love your vids Chuck. You make the world of IT seem a lot more accessible, thanks!
Learn Docker right now
Learn Ansible right now
Next will be
Learn Kubernetes right now😂
Learn everything now! 😂
@@user-vr1sn5nv8i yes you're right 😂
oh, I thought that's a series
Openshift with Ansible (k8s)
Learn how to install OpenShift with Ansible right now!
Reminds me so much of Desired State Configuration on Windows 👌
ansible works on windows serves as well. I think you would use one or the other, not both. Since ansible can handle so much more than just Linux or routers it makes a lot of sense to use ansible and not DSC I think.
This was definitely the simplest ansible video literally!!!! Straight forward, I literally feel like I can make a playbook right now !! Thank you
Hello Chuck,
this was a very well put video which helped me get started....I followed two other courses on udemy and packt and they were quite a mess! you got me sorted and helped me get started. I like your style ....keep posting new videos. Cheers!
Dude. You're ridiculous! This (and your whole channel, frankly) is one of the coolest things to happen to my Linux journey in years.
KEEP THIS STUFF COMING! You rock.
Do you have a patreon?
Every TH-cam video: Hallo guys, today..
NetworkChuck: You need to learn __________ RIGHT NOW!!!!!
:)
I hope everyone is catching on to the meme and not taking me too seriously. Learn it if it helps.
@@NetworkChuck ;)
These was all I needed to kick-off learning ansible...now am already dancing in the playbook. Thanks Chuck!
Your videos have become 1st videos to see and understand the overview in the simplest & relatable explanation for IT topics like this, thank you !!
Hey NWC, second video I watch and can again say: "Now I get it!" God bless your work.
Thank you!
as a pentester i really like "automation" - ansible looks pretty
Bro what qualification need for pentester & what is the basic things we should do?
@@emsheeranstudio3459 oscp is a good start and then practise, practise, practise. I recommend hackthebox and tryhackme for beginner
@@Ffreeze90 thanks dude
Thank you for this video.
I've been meaning to learn ansible for work and this is just the perfect introduction I needed.
I just wanna say that I really love this video, I did my lab and It was absolutely awesome!! THANK YOU MASTER!
Too many things to learn sir. Still trying to learn docker... and python, but at least I got my CCNA.
Haha, you will learn a lot and keep learning... trust me... it never ends! If you're like me, you will end up learning blueprints and building codes, etc. etc. Then your office will have a big old tool storage, bookshelf, solder station, fiber cleaners/test equipment, etc. etc. Then you will learn Python, Powershell and web languages, etc. etc. Then off to IDS systems, Nagios (She is my girlfriend on my phone - SMS), SSL, and anything else your Director throws at you... Maybe even GSuites!
Oh, I almost forgot.... an Airgun for squirrels and set of BiDi SFP......
Here is some advice, no one person will be all knowing in 500 software products (then 1/2 knowing stuff is a huge security hole) that seems to be out the window now. It would be better to be highly skilled in an area (no one person) can know everything.
Dude chill out with the "You need to learn this right now!" IM STILL TRYING TO LEARN PYTHON, first you want me to do that, then linux, then learn CCNA, then learn docker, then learn this, and that!!! GIVE ME TIMEEEEE
Looool same here
Who's only talking to ppl who are trying to go Super Sayian Blue🤣
Hahaha that's true I'm also learning python and linux😂
I'm in the same boat. Trying to just get Cloud fundementals first before I jump into Linux. It's just too much
@@davea.9927 you can do it. I learned CCNA in 6 weeks
I just used Ansible playbooks to install docker on both machines simultaneously. This is awesome! Thank you NetworkChuck!
Best ansible intro video so far I’ve watched, thank you
I don't know shit about networking and I'm not necessarily trying to learn, but I love watching your videos. I believe that's a compliment.
Well what facet of IT are you in then?
@@phabeondominguez5971 not in IT at all.
We've gotta learn everything now
Genuinely can’t express how much I love this channel, all the questions I have have been answered already by this guy. No need to go on Google for a confusing explanation, instead listen to a guy that has a coffee break 11 times per day
You are amazing bro..the way you teach shows how much passionate and knowledgeable you are about cutting edge technologies
the beard of knowledge strikes again!
You need to learn Ansible if you think you’ll end up needing to use Ansible at your job
This is one of the coolest videos I have seen on this channel. I consider myself still new to IT but my mind=blown
Thanks to you I met ansible.
Knowing ansible, set me in a new level and I got a new job where it's needed.
We ended up connecting all our 350 nodes to ansimble. Thanks for the tutorial! This is amazing.
- Deploys.cc
Thank you!
May I ask what type of tasks you are using? I can't quite see the usecases for Ansible since i usually deploy to Kubernetes (where I can configure the machine state with ease)
@@LieberLois Verizon deploys EKS and all critical components with Ansible. Search `Ansible Module Index` that might inspire you
Linux purists will probably hate this, but checkout Microsoft's VSCode for SSHing in to run commands and edit files. Way easier to edit files than vim or nano in my opinion. They probably have an Ansible plugin too.
I love using ansible, I used this course to get me started over a year ago and now im using it to deploy changes on hundereds of servers. I learned to develop custom modules for the edge cases where the builtin modules don't suffice. It is a very satisfying way to automate and im glad i have it in my arsenal of automation. Thanks Chuck!
Nice job, Ben!
I'm late to the party
I have really saw many videos of networking and before you I never thought that it will be so much interesting because it was boring a lot on books, you know . I am happy to have you on youtube. Thank You so much for this.
4:01 "cisco routers running cisco ios"

This guy makes a lot of "you need to learn [insert] naooo" vids.
Questchaun Because he’s right
Welcome to IT, where we must always LEARN ALL THE THINGS!
@@DanStarktheReal except vim apparently
Turns out I really do. I need CCNA even for BDM positions novadays.
@@deus5215 lol I know.
I Just found this channel a few days ago and i really love the enthusiasm of the explanations!!! Precise, concise and good quality. Plus I always trust a man with a good neat beard talking about IT stuff xDDD
I need to learn ansible for work, you did the best job I could find explaining it. Great job!
"Learn this now" = "The most important part of every lesson is getting started."
Heres a stupid question: “how does this work in autoscaling environments when your hosts are constantly changing?”
You can use dynamic inventories, It's used in Verizon for very large multi-service AWS deployments.
Been going through your network learning about all the new keywords that are appearing in network engineer job searches nowadays. Very helpful. Thanks.
seriouslly, I just love the way you teach stuff. Tanks for all material.
Chuck, here's the problem: Many, many of us out here are IT guys in our late-30s, 40s, and 50s. We have certs (CCNAs, MCSEs, VMware, hardware vendor stuff, firewalls, etc.) decades of experience in various IT areas, and quite honestly, bills to pay. I'm 45. I do not have the time, nor the energy, to completely revamp myself at my age. Networking, servers, all kinds of software, etc. was the name of the game for the last 40 years. The fact that all of the sudden everyone needs to ALSO become a developer is just stupid.
I might be the only one, but I'm in IT because back in the 90s everyone kept telling me I was good at it. Now, I honestly can't stand it. If I could be a carpenter (and still pay my bills) I would. But alas, instead I have to keep renewing certs over and over, keep learning every new version of every single server and firewall generation, iOS, or software title (management suites, AV, backups, cloud, VMware, etc., etc., etc.) every couple of years. It is exhausting. Why didn't I just become an accountant or a fireman, sigh.
LOL Being a firefighter was great, Until I was hurt. Things changed, Now I am in I.T. and 55 years old. And losing ground and job opportunities to 21 year olds. You know anyone that's looking for a Redhat / Cisco Administrator ? Neither do I...
If you don't like the video, don't watch. You must be a joy to work with.
What did you expect when you got started? That technology isn't gonna improve and progress will be stuck at the level of what we had in the 90s? You got into a field that's constantly changing and now you are looking surprised that you have to learn new things..
sooooo its a glorified sshpass bash script 🤔
Yep
My thoughts exactly! 🤦🏽♂️
oooooooohhh! 😂 underrated comment, man
not anywhere close to understanding the scalability and use cases for Ansible, Ansible Engine or the RESTful api
A tool designed on top of SSH - protocol from 1995. SSH wasn't designed for scalability, it's not the case. It's used for interactive terminal sessions and ad-hoc commands evaluation.
Imagine that nowadays service oriented architecture would use "SSH commands" for communication. Does that sound okay to you?
I don't even say about "declarativity" with global variables and flow control on top of yaml.
Poor bastards from red hat sold this to you.
Great video chuck! I took David Bombal's Ansible course almost a year ago and really loved it!
it's so nice to see how enthusiastic you are about the topics you are talking about :)
Look, I'm gonna watch the rest of the video, lol but my first reaction to your very first example was - "why doesn't he just do:" for i in $(seq 1 5);do echo ssh -i key me@server$i sed -ri 's/(regexp)/value/ /etc/resolv.conf';done
Haha, yeah, totally get that. Ansible is designed to be a bit more polished than a one off bash script.
How about some of the servers are powered off when you zap them so miss the update. Nothing breaks till someone decommissions the old DNS server later.
You can get ansible to power on the machines first :-)
That's pretty much what we do.
We're not exactly haemorrhaging sysadmins where I ork. We just steal each other's code.
YOU NEED TO STOP LEARNING RIGHT NOW
Maybe you should Shut up right now?
Thank you for your video for giving a easy friendly clear demo of Ansible.
It was stick on my todo list for a long time 👍
love your tutorials, the way you present information about yout subjects is as simple as it gets, I hope you have something about kubernetes, thanks and good luck for future videos
No, I don't 😛
I LOVE ANSIBLE! I work with it almost everyday, usually to run ad-hoc commands on like 150+ servers, to check things like if mounts are correct, or if I need to restart processes. LITTERALLY saves HOURS of time!
Man, it's a great joy to watch your tutorials. :)
Dude you are awesome man. Thanks for the work you are doing for the community
Working on the A+. Trying to stay motivated. Your helping. Thank you.
Thank you for the speedy (basic) intro, Chuck, it’s worthy of testing, very powerfull.
This is awesome ;)
I'm not a network engineer I have been reading CCNA materials in spare time mainly as a hobby. My journey into IT was different I started with Linux and that became a passion.
This Ansible stuff seems very powerful thank you for the introduction awesome stuff!
One of the best videos on Ansible I've seen. Thanks Chuck
Great! I like the way you so easy and FAST describe such complicated things.
Just gotta say you ROCK NetworkChuck thanks for the awesome info and great videos!
This great, I recently started watching your video. I like the way you present and create videos. I am going to use ansible for monitoring and production routine automation
Thank you for the video. It was clean and concise. I am studying RHCSA now, will start with ansible in a month. So this was very helpful.
This is most Simple Introduction to Ansible... Thank you very much NetworkChuck... Your Explanation is truly amazing
great stuff. great video. i followed along the way and everything was smooth. Thanks Chuck and keep the videos flowing.
Best instructional I've experienced so far on the web... Amazing energy and practical content.
INSANE VIDEO! it covered all things i needed and i look forward to you uploading more ! :D
Thanks for the quick overview, just manged to install Ansible on my Ubuntu system which I install from the Windows store on my Windows 10 box and updated my Linux box , up in running in under 5 mins.
I was just thinking about how I could be more productive on doing repetitive stuffs, specially setups, on production environments... and Ansible looks awesome to solve this issue. Thank you
ansible has some of the best official documentation that I've ever seen, rarely have to look elsewhere for the module instructions!
When Chuck says you need to learn this particular Tech Now.. please consider. In Dec 2023 Im starting to get recruiters asking about this skill.
Just finished a project in Ansible and it was pretty fun
Every video your space gets better looking. Very warm chill vibe, seems like a nice place to stare into a screen haha for real though
you are so much fun!!! Thanks NetworkChuck! first time seeing you = Instant Subscriber. anxious to watch more of your stuff!
Thanks for taking the time to make such amazing content ✨️
