About this course:

Take your automation to the next level with Red Hat Ansible Tower

Automation with Ansible II: Ansible Tower (DO409) is designed for Ansible site administrators who need to automate tasks on large numbers of managed nodes with extended teams or are responsible for centrally coordinating and logging Ansible operations. You will learn how to install Red Hat® Ansible Tower, use the web interface to manage access to resources and hosts, and create templates to start Ansible jobs.

This course is based on Red Hat Ansible Tower 3.3 and Red Hat® Ansible Engine 2.7.
