- _Manage_ infrastructure on `AWS` and `Azure` using __Ansible__.
- _Automate_ __Configuration__ and __State Management__ processes via Ansible.

Now, let's look at how the course is structured to help you achieve the desired outcomes effectively.
# The content structure
The course is structured to answer the following questions:
- How do I set up an Ansible environment?
- How do I use Ansible?

All sections build on the knowledge and progress that came before. 

## Setting up an Ansible environment
The first few chapters answer the question, **"How do I set up an Ansible environment?"** by showing you how to: 
- Create a consistent development environment using `Docker`  
- Connect to the _Cloud_
- Deploy Infrastructure on `AWS` and `Azure`

## Become Ansible
After answering the first question, you will build upon the infrastructure deployed and learn how to answer the question, **"How do I use Ansible?:** by looking into the following:
- Issue _Commands_
- Develop _Playbooks_
- Leverage static and dynamic _Inventories_
- Manage _Roles_
- Create a _Release Pipeline_ with `Github Actions`
