I had some slides from when I first looked at Ansible and was explaining it to some friends.
I put a soundtrack to them in case they’re useful for anybody else.
Here you are: Ansible – the absolute basic overview
It’s intended to be not so much a tutorial as a way of explaining some of the key ideas and the directory structure to someone who’s never seen a playbook before.
There are some places where I deliberately gloss over or simplify things, but I hope it might be helpful to someone. 20 mins.
All the best,
Quentin
