Overview
In this course students will focus on controlling the latest version of Ansible Tower AWX. This begins with a deployment into a Kubernetes cluster, and moves quickly into exploring the configuration options of AWX. Students will learn to navigate the AWX GUI, trigger jobs with webhooks, build and deploy custom execution environments, and design workflow job templates. All enrolled students have the opportunity to earn an AWX certification at the conclusion of the course.
Note: The focus of this course focuses on using AWX, not writing Ansible playooks. Students looking to understand Ansible programming should enroll in the Ansible Essentials (Ansible 101) course.
