Who this book is for

This book is for anyone who has IT tasks they want to automate, from mundane day-to-day housekeeping tasks to complex infrastructure-as-code-based deployments. It is intended to appeal to anyone with prior experience of Linux-based environments who wants to get up to speed quickly with Ansible automation, and to appeal to a wide range of individuals, from system administrators to DevOps engineers to architects looking at overall automation strategy. It will even serve hobbyists well. Basic proficiency in Linux system administration and maintenance tasks is assumed; however, no previous Ansible or automation experience is required.
