Automating Container Management with Ansible
Docker is a powerful container platform, but the management of hosts and containers can grow overwhelming without automation. This course will teach you how to use Ansible to manage your Docker hosts and containers.
What you'll learn
Ansible is a powerful suite of tools for automation and configuration management, and can aid in our containers-based architectures. In this course, Automating Container Management with Ansible, you’ll learn to harness the power of Ansible for managing your Docker containers. First, you’ll explore how to use Ansible to set up your Docker hosts. Next, you’ll discover how to use Docker modules within Ansible to manage your Docker images and containers throughout their lifecycle. Finally, you’ll learn how to further configure your Docker architecture by using Ansible to manage Docker networking and volumes, and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Ansible and Docker integration needed to automate and optimize container management for your projects.

About the author
With a background at a cloud hosting company, I started learning Linux and DevOps from the bottom up as a technical writer set out to document configuration management systems. Falling in love with Linux, DevOps and tech as a whole, I eventually took my ability to explain technical concepts to wide audiences to the training area, creating courses on Red Hat, SaltStack, HashiCorp, LXD, Docker, and more.
