## Ansible Fundamentals with Alex Wise 

Instructor: Alex Wise 
Time: 9:00am -1:00pm - Please arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 so class can start on time. 
Date: June 15, 2019 
Location: Code Talent

Donation: $64 or PWYC 

Ansible is a configuration management system, like Puppet, Chef, and SaltStack. Ansible has a very gradual learning curve and requires only ssh and Python on the target host(s). It's as fun as Puppet, slightly less secure, and much less ritualized. Come try CM that's simple and quick. 

Objectives: Get up and running quickly on Ansible. Learn Ansible basics like: 
- Writing a playbook 
- Running ad-hoc commands 
- Error handling 
- Writing idempotent scripts 

Requirements: Student should have a laptop capable of running Virtual Machines, perferably with Virtual Box running on it.

- Install Node Exporter on a system and configure Prometheus to monitor it 
- Install Grafana and create pretty graphs 
- Install Alert Manager create notifications for when bad things happen 

Note: $32 is a double-mega-extra discount. This class will normally be $128. It's half-priced because it's a first run. And it's half again because it's Software Freedom First Saturday. So it's just $32! Act fast! Operators are standing by!
