Do These 5 Ansible Projects — DevOps Job Guaranteed
The production use-cases you can use to build your portfolio and train Ansible
Intro — Step #0
Let’s imagine this — you’ve just landed your dream role as a DevOps/Cloud/Linux Admin. It’s Day 1, and you’re introduced to the powerful world of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) through an incredible tool: Ansible.
Your mentor lays out a clear training path, moving from simple to intermediate, and finally to advanced Ansible projects. Sounds exciting, right?
But what could that path actually look like? What kind of projects should a senior engineer assign to a junior just starting out?
I’ve been on that same path myself. I started with the classic ad-hoc ping command, and gradually leveled up to building complex, multi-tier configurations.
Today, I want to share a project-based learning path to help you master Ansible and the broader IaC space — the way I wish someone had shown me.
