Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.

?The highlights of this Learning Path are:

Increase the functionality of your infrastructure by integrating with cloud platforms such as AWS and OpenStack

Understand how to use Ansible 2 for various use cases such as fraud detection, network security, governance, and so on

Implement the advanced usage of Ansible Tower

Learn complex hardening and migrate security infrastructures

Let’s take a quick look at your learning journey. You will with Ansible 2, including its installation, the problems it solves, and more. You will then create your very first playbook. You will understand the power of variables and quickly be able to manage environments and implement strategies. You will then go through the concepts that are used to automate security in your infrastructure and how to monitor your system so that it remains compliant. You will also use Ansible Tower to secure your machines and cloud systems. Moving forward, you will explore some security use cases such as network device hardening, application security, fraud detection and prevention, governance, and risk assessment. Finally, this Learning Path will teach you how to maintain the compliance state of your system by applying configurations to your system along with some troubleshooting techniques.

By the end of this Learning Path, you will have mastered automating different layers of security in your infrastructure.
