If you are reading this book, you are most likely looking for a consistent way to provision infrastructure, deploy code, and maintain the operational consistency of environments. These items all fit under Configuration Management, or CM for short. Configuration Management represents a cornerstone of DevOps and is something that Ansible manages very well. Configuration Management represents a way of development where automation can be used to provision and enforce the state, consistency, and accuracy of a set of systems. In a DevOps-oriented environment, Configuration Management will become increasingly critical for maintaining development environments, QA apparatuses and systems, production environments, and more.

Overview of this book
Thinking about adapting the DevOps culture for your organization using a very simple, yet powerful automation tool, Ansible 2? Then this book is for you!
In this book, you will start with the role of Ansible in the DevOps module, which covers fundamental DevOps practices and how Ansible is leveraged by DevOps organizations to implement consistent and simplified configuration management and deployment. You will then move on to the next module, Ansible with DevOps, where you will understand Ansible fundamentals and how Ansible Playbooks can be used for simple configuration management and deployment tasks. After simpler tasks, you will move on to the third module, Ansible Syntax and Playbook Development, where you will learn advanced configuration management implementations, and use Ansible Vault to secure top-secret information in your organization. In this module, you will also learn about popular DevOps tools and the support that Ansible provides for them (MYSQL, NGINX, APACHE and so on). The last module, Scaling Ansible for the enterprise, is where you will integrate Ansible with CI and CD solutions and provision Docker containers using Ansible.
By the end of the book you will have learned to use Ansible to leverage your DevOps tasks.
