This was super clear, concise and got to the point of how to use this tool effectively. LOVED IT! Especially since just reading about it can get confusing...
Spykedjadedragon Hey, thanks! Yeah, I remember having 30 minutes of "WTF..." and general confusion while reading the docs. In the end, actually looking at some real Ansible projects and trying to throw together a playbook myself (looking up the modules I needed as I went along) explained everything much better than just reading documentation. I highly recommend just jumping in, tinkering, and breaking stuff. Make sure you're using a VM or container to test on, so you don't screw up your main machine :-D.
HigherPlanes The more I use Ansible, the more I am absolutely in love with it. I've used puppet in the past, and even introduced it into a company which now uses puppet extensively to manage hundreds of servers and containers. However, on all the projects I'm working on right now, I'm using Ansible (and in some cases even re-wrote stuff that was already implemented in Puppet). It's just *so* nice, so easy to get started with, and so much more than just configuration management. I really really recommend it.
tutoriaLinux Coming from someone whos actually used configuration management in a production environment, your suggestion means a lot so I think I will check that out. Hope this isn't out of line or too personal, but just out of curiosity and because I don't know many folks who are linux professionals, did you get some kind of formal training in your linux career or just accumulated knowledge here and there and just dove in? That's always a curiosity I have about linux professionals.
HigherPlanes No worries! I'm actually about to do a few videos about this, but basically I got into this as a hobby, became obsessed, got a job, and then started looking at certs (my employer paid for a Net+). Almost everything I know was learned on the job or playing around at home.
tutoriaLinux Cool man! I look forward to watching those! Thanks for the info BTW- you're pretty much at the place I want to be in career-wise, and I always wonder how people with linux experience get there. They don't really teach this stuff in college courses, that I know of. Take care.
Awesome intro video to ansible, this has helped alot thanks for putting it out! Any chance you'll be looking at automating something like packer in the future?
No problem: github.com/groovemonkey/tutorialinux/tree/master/ansible_basics I'm actually working on a full-length Ansible course right now. It'll be done soon (workload permitting)! There will be lots of production-grade Ansible code there.
That is so cool, I'm using ansible right now with a raspberry pi 3 and later with a digital ocean droplet, my goal is to get something like digital ocean pre-configured droplets (wordpress for example) on AWS. I'll be looking forward to the full-length course, please include things like become and become_user, I'm still using "sudo: yes", greetings from Peru.

Dave never ceases to amaze. Thanks once again sir!
Pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Tyson Maddux Definitely, I have been using Flixzone} for years myself :)
Survey taken. Your videos can be as long or short. Depends on the topic. Love what you are doing.
Luke Vonderharr You Rock!
I followed you for linux tutorial, a great tutorial indeed and this was a small tutorial with lot of information.
Thanks for sharing this video:)
Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for to get started with ansible. Thumbs up :)
That's exactly what I was after really good concise explanation and I don't know how to pronounce idempotent either!!!
Great introductory tutorial. Configuration management is def on my list of things to learn, just not sure whether to devl into puppet or Ansible.

Good. could you tell me what editor application you are using in the video ?
This is sublime text.
@@tutoriaLinux thank you! hope to see more of your IT stuff
Hey Dave! Do you have some tutorial of downloading snapshot in vultr?

Hi, Your videos are awesome but i am very fresh to Ansible, can you provide the video links in orderwise please.....
Great video, thanks!
This was awesome. Thanks
Great work! Do you have those files in any repo or gist? Thanks!

please, help me
+Tiểu Bảo Đẹp Trai Is there a space between the - and the word common?
Ther defintely should be one
How did u take this screencast in i3wm? :D
Do we have any CLI command to generate such default hierarchy ?
If you're creating a role, use ansible-galaxy init [role name] . It will create the scaffolding.
Thank you
hi thank for the video is really good, its very clean, i would like to know how its work in windows, i cant find a good tutorial video, maybe you can upload a nice one, thank in advance
