Practical Ansible for Cloud & DevOps: Configure Servers, Orchestrate Deployments, and Secure Your Infrastructure with Ease
Managing servers across cloud and hybrid environments shouldn't feel like chaos disguised as work. Yet many DevOps teams still juggle fragile scripts, inconsistent configurations, and risky manual updates that break under pressure. What if you could replace all that with automation that's consistent, auditable, and easy to scale?
This book gives you exactly that. Practical Ansible for Cloud & DevOps is a hands-on guide for professionals who want to build reliable infrastructure through automation that actually works in production. It bridges the gap between theory and real-world implementation, teaching you how to configure systems, deploy applications, and enforce security standards with precision and repeatability. Every example is fully tested, fully explained, and ready to run directly from your control node.
You'll move from foundational concepts to advanced orchestration without wasted motion, learning to write clean playbooks, design reusable roles, and integrate Ansible seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines. Each chapter builds toward mastering automation at scale, whether you manage a few servers or thousands across AWS, Azure, or on-prem environments.
You'll learn how to:
Build resilient and idempotent playbooks that prevent drift and configuration errors.
Manage infrastructure across multi-cloud and hybrid environments using dynamic inventory.
Orchestrate deployments using proven blue/green and rolling upgrade patterns.
Secure automation with Vault, least-privilege design, and compliance enforcement.
Integrate Ansible with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and other CI/CD tools for continuous delivery.
Govern and scale automation through versioning, linting, and team-ready project structures.
Each technique is grounded in real operational use, reflecting how DevOps engineers and system administrators actually work today. Whether you're managing web clusters, database tiers, or Kubernetes workloads, you'll find patterns that can be adapted directly to your environment.
If you're ready to replace error-prone manual processes with code that's elegant, predictable, and secure, this book is your practical path forward. Learn the patterns that modern infrastructure teams rely on every day, and start building automation that scales with your systems, your team, and your ambitions.
Master the automation standard trusted by the world's top DevOps teams, get your copy today and take control of your infrastructure with Ansible.
