1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,150 Hey folks, in this video we will cover Ansible documentation. 2 00:00:04,150 --> 00:00:10,990 I'm sure you are learning Ansible for the very first time and it is very important that you should have 3 00:00:10,990 --> 00:00:18,460 access to all the online resources where you could go and read about it, understand more about Ansible. 4 00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:24,970 So there are many, many online documentation you find, but the official ones are. 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,390 The first one is Docs Mashable.com. 6 00:00:29,470 --> 00:00:33,520 Let me go with you and we'll cover each one of them one by one. 7 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,640 So right here I have copy and paste all of them in a notepad and we'll go together. 8 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,220 And this is the main official documentation page for Ask.com. 9 00:00:45,220 --> 00:00:52,390 You can go to Ansible Community Documentation, Platform documentation, Ansible Core documentation, 10 00:00:52,510 --> 00:01:00,370 Ansible Galaxy and there are many more documentation you can go one by one and inside of these links 11 00:01:00,370 --> 00:01:08,860 you can find additional documentation related to specifically its galaxy land collection and all the 12 00:01:08,860 --> 00:01:10,570 topics that are mentioned here. 13 00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:19,660 All right, then we have the next one is Docs Apple.com, which is the same website but the different 14 00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:22,510 page, which is Ansible Dash latest. 15 00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:27,310 It tells you all the information about the latest version of Ansible. 16 00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:33,670 So where let's go to my notepad, which is right here again, I'm going to copy it. 17 00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:42,220 I'm going to go to my Firefox pasted right here and here is the latest Ansible documentation. 18 00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:48,880 So right now the latest is 2.9 and the version selection. 19 00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:54,400 Maybe by the time you are watching this video, it would be a different version. 20 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,050 Of course, the higher version. 21 00:01:56,050 --> 00:02:02,290 But anyway, regardless which version you are on, you could come to this URL and I'll bring you to 22 00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:04,000 the latest version right here. 23 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,310 You could click on the dropdown menu and you will find either 2.9 or just simply click on latest and 24 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,310 we'll keep you here. 25 00:02:12,310 --> 00:02:19,270 And here you will find its installation guide, installing Ansible, configuring Ansible, getting started. 26 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,060 All the documentation you need to be an expert in Ansible, you will find right here. 27 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:27,070 All right, very good. 28 00:02:27,070 --> 00:02:29,290 Let's go back to our slide. 29 00:02:29,290 --> 00:02:35,350 And the next URL we have is Apple.com slash resources. 30 00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:46,210 So this is the one directly on the Ansible dot com website URL and I'll go ahead and copy and paste. 31 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:55,840 And here we have this Ansible website supported by Red Hat and you will find all the information on 32 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,620 Ansible automation based on the products or solutions that you are putting together. 33 00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:08,830 So this one is for network, this one is for rester, 405 is the network device. 34 00:03:08,830 --> 00:03:15,190 This one is five steps to automate your business automation platform on Microsoft Windows. 35 00:03:15,310 --> 00:03:22,180 If you want to automate task on Windows, definitely come in here and read all the documentation of 36 00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:28,960 Windows security automation with Ansible to the data sheet and many other resources that you can find 37 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:29,350 here. 38 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,910 Going back to our slide, the next one is on Red Hat Topics, Automation, Learning, Ansible Tutorial. 39 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:37,810 All right. 40 00:03:37,810 --> 00:03:40,840 So for that, I'll just copy this entire link. 41 00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:44,910 And go to our Firefox. 42 00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:50,400 Simply paste that in there and I'll get the list of learning ansible basics. 43 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,380 Here are all the information that you need about Ansible. 44 00:03:56,190 --> 00:04:04,320 Now, this one is it doesn't matter if you are learning Ansible as an open source or Ansible, which 45 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,190 is the purchase or licensed product from RedHat. 46 00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:12,420 It will give you all the information because both of them are similar. 47 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:19,800 Ansible Playbook you click on it, it will take you deep inside of the playbook and one to another, 48 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,290 one to another, and then you'll find all the related documentation about Ansible. 49 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,520 All right. 50 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,450 The next one is about the Ansible webinars in training. 51 00:04:30,450 --> 00:04:34,260 This is one of the most important link that I'm sharing with you. 52 00:04:34,470 --> 00:04:40,440 And by the way, all of these links that I am sharing, I will list them on this lecture. 53 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,120 So you could actually click on each of them instead of just doing a copy paste. 54 00:04:45,690 --> 00:04:46,140 All right. 55 00:04:46,290 --> 00:04:51,960 So what I was saying is one of the most important ones that I always keep it handy in my favorites of 56 00:04:51,960 --> 00:05:00,960 my browser is this one Webinars and training, Ansible or Red Hat offers many webinars and many free 57 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,060 training on Ansible. 58 00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:11,100 Yes, they actually conduct most of the time once in a week or maybe once in two weeks. 59 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:17,250 These sessions on Ansible, which I will highly recommend you, that you should attend them, these 60 00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:20,490 are very beneficial training and you will learn a lot. 61 00:05:20,490 --> 00:05:27,270 They also train you on all the newer things or new features that will be added to Ansible. 62 00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:31,380 So if you go to

00:06:18,750 All right, then what we have, we have asthma module documentation. 75 00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:25,650 So if you wanted to know all the modules that are available to you out of the box are not available 76 00:06:25,650 --> 00:06:32,520 in the box or that didn't come with the software or some of the modules that are being built right now. 77 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:35,340 All that information you can find from this URL. 78 00:06:35,340 --> 00:06:37,440 So let's go to this URL. 79 00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:41,700 And here we have our box. 80 00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:42,900 Let's paste that in. 81 00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:47,040 And here is a list of all the URLs that you have. 82 00:06:47,050 --> 00:06:51,360 For example, if you want to look for a Yum module, you can just simply type Yum. 83 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,740 It will take you there and you could do manage packages with the package manager, gives you more information 84 00:06:56,740 --> 00:07:02,260 when you click on it and it'll give you all the parameters or options that you could specify with the 85 00:07:02,260 --> 00:07:02,860 module. 86 00:07:02,890 --> 00:07:09,190 This is something that I have also covered earlier when we went through the modules topic. 87 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,570 All right, so these were the very important URLs that you should definitely keep it handy or make it 88 00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:18,280 favorite on your browser. 89 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:26,290 And as you are learning Ansible, these URLs or these websites with documentation will be very, very 90 00:07:26,290 --> 00:07:27,850 helpful and useful to you. 91 00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:32,630 The list of possible resources does not end here. 92 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,410 You could go online, search for Ansible and you can find a ton of resources on Ansible. 93 00:07:38,010 --> 00:07:41,970 Do you know you can also get help from Ansible Community as well? 94 00:07:42,090 --> 00:07:42,660 Yes. 95 00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:45,020 In this video, this is what we are going to cover. 96 00:07:45,030 --> 00:07:51,210 What are the URLs or resources that we could go to and find help from the Ansible community? 97 00:07:51,450 --> 00:07:58,050 Ansible has a large and engaged community of users who can help answer your questions for real time. 98 00:07:58,050 --> 00:07:58,710 Chat. 99 00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:05,010 Join these following matrix rooms social for general introductions and chat rooms. 100 00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:10,470 You could go to this URL user help for technical questions. 101 00:08:10,470 --> 00:08:15,360 You could go to this URL community for collection and maintainers. 102 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,440 This is the URL. 103 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,850 You should follow community space for the whole list of rooms. 104 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,440 Here is the URL. 105 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:32,160 I'll go over these URL one by one for Ansible via internet relay chat and the mailing list here is the 106 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,110 internet relay chat URL. 107 00:08:34,110 --> 00:08:37,680 And for a mailing list here is a URL. 108 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:47,130 Then we have GitHub that one of the useful websites, especially for developers and also for those who 109 00:08:47,130 --> 00:08:52,110 wants to take advantage of what is being built by those developers. 110 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,630 So help or get up to date information on newer modules or versions. 111 00:08:57,630 --> 00:09:04,380 And here we have the URL, GitHub, slash ansible, slash ansible again and you'll get all the information, 112 00:09:04,380 --> 00:09:08,910 updated information or the newer codes here on GitHub. 113 00:09:09,570 --> 00:09:09,810 All right. 114 00:09:09,810 --> 00:09:18,600 So I have opened up all the social media websites or the community website URLs right here on my. 115 00:09:19,770 --> 00:09:20,610 Firefox. 116 00:09:20,610 --> 00:09:20,940 All right. 117 00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:22,530 So I'm going to minimize this. 118 00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:25,950 The very first one is our social for general. 119 00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:30,330 And right here and you go to this URL, here is what you will get. 120 00:09:30,330 --> 00:09:36,990 You just simply continue and you will start the chatting sessions with people who are available. 121 00:09:37,260 --> 00:09:39,480 Same thing for technical questions. 122 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:46,320 You will have users, colon, ansible, then you have community that's for community for collections 123 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,670 and maintainers. 124 00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:49,740 Here is the URL. 125 00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:51,600 That's where you start the session. 126 00:09:51,600

00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:18,240 Or if you have questions about a the management tool that you need for your Ansible, then we have another 131 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,950 one which is the mailing list of A.W. and the last one is the GitHub. 132 00:10:22,950 --> 00:10:25,140 This is the URL for GitHub. 133 00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:27,210 You could go here type. 134 00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:35,090 GM or any module if you wanted to find more information or help related to that module. 135 00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:43,250 If you are if you want to be more specific about your question, most likely the question has been answered. 136 00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:44,750 First, do the search. 137 00:10:44,780 --> 00:10:51,590 If you cannot find the answer what you're looking for, then definitely you could submit a request or 138 00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:56,120 ask the committee members here, right here on the GitHub and you will get your answers.
