Our Verdict
This course by Shankar is a solid starting point for DevOps beginners wanting to learn Ansible, particularly those who prefer practical examples over dry theory. It shines in its use of real-world illustrations and hands-on exercises that help students get comfortable with writing their own playbooks and roles. Despite some minor flaws such as occasional imprecise language or outdated content, the overall structure and pacing ensure a smooth learning curve for those looking to dive into Ansible. While it would benefit from more comprehensive coverage of AWS alternatives and further polishing through improved proofreading, this course's strengths lie in its accessibility and strong focus on practical applications. Highly recommended for those new to the DevOps sphere and eager to explore Infrastructure as Code with Ansible.
