Thank you, David so much for this Video, I'm a Network Engineer, and today my company will deploy Automation tools, and I'm trying to train myself on ANSIBLE, Keep uploading these topics.

Thank you for this David, I would like to think that for an 1h video you get a lot more views but I'm pretty sure its quite the opposite. Because of that I want to thank you even more, because for the few ones that stayed the whole hour this can help tremendously.
