Introduction
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible (AU294) is designed for Linux administrators and developers who need to automate repeatable and error-prone steps for system provisioning, configuration, application deployment, and orchestration.
This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 10, Ansible Core 2.16 and Ansible development tools in alignment with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 and 2.6.
Audience Profile
This course is geared toward Linux system administrators, DevOps engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, infrastructure automation engineers, and developers who are responsible for repeatable tasks such as:
- Automating configuration management
- Ensuring consistent and repeatable application deployment
- Provisioning and deployment of development, testing, and production servers
- Integrating with DevOps continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows
Pre-requisites
Pass the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam (EX200), or demonstrate equivalent Red Hat Enterprise Linux knowledge and experience.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
- Install and configure Ansible development tools in VS Code and configure Ansible settings.
- Create and update inventories of managed hosts and manage connections to them.
- Automate administration tasks with Ansible Playbooks.
- 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.

Associated Certifications and Exam
The performance-based Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam (EX200) tests your knowledge in areas of system administration common across a wide range of environments and deployment scenarios. The skills tested in this exam are the foundation for system administration across all Red Hat® products.
By passing this exam, you become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator. If you choose to continue your learning journey beyond RHCSA®, the credential can also serve as a foundational step toward other certifications. You must be an RHCSA® to become a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®).
This exam is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 10.
Prerequisites for this exam:
Have either taken Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) or the RHCSA Rapid Track course (RH199) that combines those courses, or have comparable work experience as a system administrator on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
On successful completion of this course students will receive a Torque IT attendance certificate.
