AI Assisted Ansible

Welcome to the AI-Assisted Ansible course — your complete, hands-on guide to building faster, more reliable automation workflows by combining Ansible with modern AI tooling.
As infrastructure environments grow in scale and complexity, traditional automation alone is no longer enough. Merging AI with Ansible unlocks a new era of productivity: generating playbooks in seconds, reducing human errors, accelerating debugging, and enabling engineers to automate at a speed never seen before. AI-powered assistants like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed are transforming how teams write, validate, and optimize Ansible automation.

Built for DevOps engineers, system administrators, SREs, and platform teams, this course blends real-world insights, best practices, and hands-on demos to help you confidently integrate AI into your Ansible development lifecycle. Whether you’re refining existing automation or building new playbooks, this course shows you how to leverage AI to work smarter — not harder.
