Master Ansible Automation for Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes

Introduction

Automating your containers (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, and OpenShift) with Ansible enables you to achieve Infrastructure as Code (IaC). With IaC, you can automate your workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and respond faster to critical business demands.

For Beginners

Ansible provides various modules to manage Docker containers, Podman, and more. This section will guide you through the initial setup of your Ansible controller to interact with the Docker engine, which is often a hurdle for users new to Ansible.
