This is a small list of resources to get started using Ansible. Below you will find some links to documentation, free interactive labs (web based) and YouTube media content.

1. **Getting Started with a user journey**. The [@Docs](https://forum.ansible.com/groups/docs) (Documentation Working Group) recently updated the [Getting Started section with a user journey](https://docs.ansible.com/users.html). We recommend you check it first. It also works as an index of sorts, in case you want to explore what’s ahead or review something specific.

2. **Getting started with Ansible**. From the above, the “[Getting started with Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/getting_started/index.html)" docs landing page is a good first read if you are looking into what’s Ansible, how to use it (ad-hoc) and create your first playbook.

3. **Interactive self-paced hands-on laboratories**. We have a [curated set of “Getting Started” interactive labs](https://www.redhat.com/en/interactive-labs/ansible) to get some browser-based hands-on learning experience. Here you will find labs on ansible development tools, how to write your first playbook, intros to controller/awx, navigator, builder, network and EDA

4. **Community content** : The “[Ansible Pilot](https://www.youtube.com/@AnsiblePilot)” YouTube channel by @lucab_it has great video content, around new features, howtos and other content. Luca also has a blog and books published at [ansiblepilot.com](http://ansiblepilot.com)

5. **Community content** : The “[Ansible for Devops](https://leanpub.com/ansible-for-devops/c/CTVMPCbEeXd3)” book by @geerlingguy is great as well, it’s licensed CC-BY-SA and free to download now. Jeff also has an “[Ansible 101 video playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goclfp6a2IQ&list=PL2_OBreMn7FqZkvMYt6ATmgC0KAGGJNAN&pp=iAQB)” in his YouTube Channel.

6. **Official Youtube** : The [official Ansible YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/ansibleautomation) also has a lot of howto videos around Event-Driven Ansible, Ansible for Infrastructure Automation (RHEL, other Linux and Windows) and Ansible for Hybrid Cloud (OpenShift, Kubernetes).

7. **Forum guides and how-to** : The #howto tag in this very Ansible Community Forum will come handy if you want to check the list of how-tos available. Content type can vary, maybe it’s a blog post, a video or a forum topic.

**NOTE** : If you would like to see content added to the list above, leave a comment below. Comments on this thread might auto-delete after a period of time to keep the thread clean. If you are looking to troubleshoot an issue please post to the #Get Help category.
