A collection of Ansible playbook examples accompanying Jeff Geerling's book 'Ansible for DevOps'. It demonstrates configuration management, provisioning, and orchestration concepts with Vagrant, Docker, and cloud environments.

Use cases

• learn ansible from scratch
• find example ansible playbooks for server provisioning
• understand ansible roles and collections
• practice configuration management with vagrant vms
• learn docker orchestration with ansible
• study dynamic inventory scripts

When to choose

• you are learning Ansible and want worked examples tied to a book
• you want reference playbooks for LAMP, Node.js, Solr, and Drupal setups
• you want up-to-date examples maintained alongside a frequently updated book

When to avoid

• you need production-ready playbooks following all best practices
• you want a tool or library rather than educational example code
• you use configuration management tools other than Ansible
