Awesome video!
I'm a newbie when it comes to servers and this is the first comprehensive video that explains well ansible. Other videos usually go into details too soon omitting general structure and how ansible works and I'm lost at the beginning. This video here just makes it perfectly clear. Thanks!

Best explanation I've seen, thank you

I would appreciate it if you would post links to the Redhat playlists this video is a part of.

Is there a lesson how the tasks are actually executed on the targets?

YAML stands for "YAML Ain't Markup Language" -- it's a recursive acronym :)

[KarinaStavenes]

Thank you for that excellent explanation.

[TonyaBrownSysAdmin]

You mention that yaml stands for yet another markup language but I thought it meant yaml aint another markup language?

YAML is not "yet another markup lang", it's "YAML Aint Markup Language"

I really don't need to see the woman pronouncing stuff. Deaf people use subtitles. Video doesn't explain anything.
