Raghav your explanation for a product from scratch to Beginners are very Good for Ansible and as well Github Actions Videos which i have refered. Is there course [videos]of your's on Ansible Web based version with API calls to execute the playbook where Input of Host will varies from post provision perspective, considering the hostname will be passed by some inventory based [Asset Management] .i.e SNOW when there is request and a call to ansible will be triggered for post configure of Windows / Linux VM. Obvios the module explanation with few example. Once again thanks for such videos presented by you which are sweet and simple to start from scratch.

Excellent presentation again! Could you cover Ansible to a Windows client? Also, I would love to see how to integrate Github, Jenkins, and Ansible as one Jenkins job.
Thanks again for all your advice!

Very good and informative video Raghav. Your content is too good.

please modify the commands in vagrant file provided in the description:
the change would be to include << before -SHELL
config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
