WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP BEST FOR?

This workshop is intended for individuals who want to expand their knowledge of Ansible Automation to include the automation of day 2 operations tasks for Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. Attendees will leave this workshop with a better understanding of how the Ansible Automation Platform can be used with Satellite to automate complicated tasks and workflows in your environment to improve your operational effectiveness and reduce risk.

This workshop focuses on four main pain points:

1. How to implement Infrastructure as Code automation with Red Hat solutions
2. Compliance (OpenSCAP Scanning) and Vulnerability Management
3. OS Patch/Package Management
