Ansible for DevOps Examples

This repository contains Ansible examples developed to support different sections of Ansible for DevOps, a book on Ansible by Jeff Geerling.

Many examples use Vagrant, VirtualBox, and Ansible to boot and configure VMs on your local workstation.

Not all playbooks follow all of Ansible's best practices, as they illustrate particular Ansible features in an instructive manner.
