"DevOps Journey: Week 8 - Automating Configuration with Ansible"

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

I’ve just wrapped up Week 8 of my DevOps journey, where I focused entirely on learning and applying Ansible β€” the powerful automation tool used widely in production environments.

πŸ”§ What I Covered:

  • Installed and configured Ansible on Ubuntu
  • Wrote and applied Playbooks using YAML
  • Created and used Inventory Files (static & dynamic)
  • Explored Ansible Galaxy to download and reuse roles
  • Restarted services, installed packages, and configured remote servers

πŸ§ͺ Hands-On Practice:

  • Real-time tasks using VMs and EC2 instances
  • Used SSH for secure communication
  • Built modular playbooks for easier reuse

πŸ“ˆ Progress Summary:

Task Status

πŸ”œ What’s Next:

In Week 9, I’ll move on to Terraform to learn how to provision infrastructure as code.
