+Learn how to automate Linux system administration tasks with Ansible Automation Platform
+Ansible is a popular open-source automation tool used for configuration management, application deployment, and orchestration of IT infrastructure. Here are some of the benefits of using Ansible:
+Simplicity: Ansible is simple to use, with a user-friendly interface and easy-to-understand syntax, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced users.
+Agentless: Ansible doesn't require any agents or software to be installed on the target system, which makes it easy to manage and reduces the complexity of the setup.
+Automation: Ansible can automate complex tasks such as application deployment, configuration management, and cloud provisioning, reducing the time and effort required for manual tasks.
+Scalability: Ansible can manage thousands of nodes simultaneously, making it an ideal tool for large-scale environments.
+Flexibility: Ansible supports a wide range of operating systems, platforms, and devices, including servers, network devices, and cloud infrastructure.
+Playbooks: Ansible uses playbooks, which are files containing a set of instructions that describe the desired state of the system. Playbooks are reusable and can be shared with other team members.
+Security: Ansible provides a secure framework for managing infrastructure, with built-in security features such as SSH key management, encrypted communication, and user access control.
+Integration: Ansible can integrate with other tools and platforms such as AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins, making it a versatile tool for managing a wide range of environments.
+In summary, Ansible simplifies IT automation, improves efficiency, and enhances security, making it a valuable tool for managing IT infrastructure.
+**What is Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform?**
+Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building and operating IT automation at scale, from hybrid cloud to the edge. It enables users across an organization to create, share, and manage automation—from development and operations to security and network teams.
+IT managers can provide guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, and automation creators can write tasks that use existing knowledge. Ansible Automation Platform provides a more secure and stable foundation for deploying end-to-end automation.
+Linux Automation with Ansible (RH294)  is designed for Linux administrators and developers who need to automate repeatable and error-prone steps for system provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration.
+**Course content summary**
+Install Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform on control nodes.
+Create and update inventories of managed hosts and manage connections to them.
+Automate administration tasks with Ansible Playbooks and ad hoc commands.
+Write effective playbooks at scale.
+Protect sensitive data used by Ansible Automation Platform with Ansible Vault.
+Reuse code and simplify playbook development with Ansible Roles and Ansible Content Collections.
