Ansible Automation for Hybrid Footprints
Idempotent playbooks, inventory hygiene, and handoffs to CI when cron-on-a-VM is no longer cute.
We target a mixed estate story common in Thailand: a few VMs, some cloud instances, and a desire to stop snowflake SSH sessions. You practice small playbooks with explicit test harnesses.
What the syllabus includes
- Inventory sourcing patterns (static + cloud plugin overview)
- Role boundaries that survive team growth
- Molecule-style testing mindset without vendor lock
- Handoff checklist from playbook to pipeline job
- Vault concepts without storing real secrets in class
- Performance footguns (forks, facts caching)
- Mentor review of a playbook refactor
Artifacts you leave with
- Deliver three playbooks with explicit idempotency checks
- Draft inventory hygiene rules your ops chat can adopt
- Document a CI handoff for one repetitive task
