This 2-day course demonstrates through hands-on practice the basics of Chef, a configuration management tool, and how to use Chef for infrastructure automation.

The course is intended to give engineers who currently use Ansible knowledge of the deeper and more specialist areas involved in its application.

The aim of the workshop is to give a greater understanding of what goes on "under the hood", how Ansible can be used in the application development lifecycle, and how Ansible can be tailored for scaled and enterprise environments.

Ansible solves the problem: "We've got the server configuration we want, we've put in the time figuring it out; now how to we automate all that?"
