Want to move beyond manual, error-prone server setup and automate your infrastructure the way modern DevOps teams do? This three-course Specialization takes you from infrastructure automation fundamentals to scalable, CI/CD-integrated server provisioning with Ansible.
You will start with Ansible's agentless, declarative model, set up a control node, and provision a baseline Linux server using idempotent playbooks. You will then design repeatable, multi-tier provisioning workflows with roles, variables, and secure credentials using Ansible Vault. Finally, you will scale and optimize playbook performance, manage dynamic cloud inventory, and integrate Ansible into CI/CD pipelines with governance and auditing. Each course is hands-on, culminating in a project where you provision and manage real server infrastructure.
What you will learn across the Specialization:
Set up and configure a working Ansible automation environment
Build reusable, multi-tier provisioning using roles, variables, and templates
Secure credentials and secrets using Ansible Vault
Scale, test, and debug automation across dynamic cloud infrastructure
Integrate Ansible into CI/CD pipelines with governance and auditing
Enroll now to build job-ready Ansible automation skills and a hands-on DevOps portfolio.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout this Specialization, you will apply Ansible to provision and manage real server infrastructure rather than work through isolated exercises. You will write and refine playbooks, build reusable roles, secure credentials, and run automation across multiple environments. Each course includes hands-on projects that simulate real DevOps scenarios, giving you practical experience with infrastructure as code, configuration management, and pipeline-driven provisioning. By the end, you will have built a portfolio of automation artifacts that demonstrate your ability to provision infrastructure consistently, reliably, and at scale.
