Course Overview
TopLearn how to automate Linux system administration tasks with Ansible.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible (AU294) is designed for Linux administrators and developers who need to automate repeatable and error-prone steps for system provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration.
Participants will be able to apply automation-first principles to solve real-world Linux system and services problems through the effective creation of Ansible playbooks. You will gain the skills to automate your workflows, build the foundation for DevOps practices, and learn how to leverage Ansible for developmental efficiencies.
This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 10, Ansible Core 2.16 and Ansible development tools in alignment with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 and 2.6.
Note : Starting January 1, 2026, Red Hat introduces RHLS-Course — a flexible subscription model now included with this catalog offering. This replaces the previous direct virtual class enrollment from Global Knowledge.
When you purchase this item, you’ll receive an RHLS subscription at the course level, giving you the freedom to choose the schedule that works best and self-enroll in your selected class.
Your RHLS subscription includes:
• One live, instructor-led virtual session
• 12 months of self-paced learning access
• One certification exam with a free retake
Onsite Classroom-based sessions and closed course options remain unchanged.

Course Content
TopAn introduction to Ansible
- Describe the fundamental concepts of Ansible and how it is used, install and configure Ansible development tools in VS Code, and configure Ansible settings.
Developing automation content
- Build Ansible inventories, write and run simple and complex playbooks, and troubleshoot playbooks and host failures.
Developing Automation Content: Variables
- Write playbooks that use variables to simplify management of the playbook, protect sensitive data in variables, and use facts and magic variables to reference information about managed hosts.
Developing Automation Content: Task Control
- Write plays that use task control features to efficiently specify a task that must run once for each item in a list, or that only runs if certain conditions are met.
Developing Automation Content: Deploying Files
- Deploy, customize, and adjust files on hosts managed by Ansible.
Developing Automation Content at Scale
- Manage complex Ansible Playbooks by importing or including other playbooks and tasks, as well as by using advanced host patterns to efficiently select specific hosts from your inventory.
Reusing Code with Ansible Roles and Content Collections
