Course Description: Automate Software Installation with Ansible
Did you know that automating server setup can reduce configuration time by over 70% while virtually eliminating human error? Consistent, repeatable environments are the foundation of reliable data pipelines. This Short Course was created to help data engineering professionals automate infrastructure provisioning and ensure consistent, scalable server environments for data pipeline deployments. By completing this course, you will be able to use Ansible to automate software installation on servers, streamline configuration steps, and enforce reliability across your infrastructure—skills that improve deployment speed and operational consistency. By the end of this 2-hour long course, you will be able to: Apply an automation tool to install software on a server. This course is unique because it blends hands-on automation with practical server management, giving you real-world experience in building reproducible, scalable environments using industry-standard tools. To be successful in this project, you should have: Basic Linux command line knowledge Understanding of server administration concepts Familiarity with text editors Did you know that automating server setup can reduce configuration time by over 70% while virtually eliminating human error?
