Visão Geral

Neste Curso Ansible Ansible Tower AWX, os alunos se concentrarão em controlar a versão mais recente do AWX. Isso começa com uma implantação em um cluster Kubernetes e avança rapidamente para a exploração das opções de configuração do AWX. Os alunos aprenderão a navegar na GUI do AWX, acionar trabalhos com webhooks, criar e implantar ambientes de execução personalizados e projetar modelos de trabalho de fluxo de trabalho. Todos os alunos matriculados têm a oportunidade de obter uma certificação AWX ao final do curso.

Observação: o foco deste curso se concentra no uso do AWX, não na escrita de playbooks do Ansible.
