I’m familiar with #2 which is good and I also recommend _Ansible for DevOps_ by Jeff Geerling. I think both these books should give you a very good all-round view about what Ansible is and how you use it.

Welcome @jhansiball!

I’d add that several of those authors have accounts here on the forum, so there’s scope for clarifying questions etc.

Hmmm, I feel a “Book Nook” or similar learner’s area category taking shape here … 🙂
