Just binged the whole series. I've been using ansible for a while, but this definitely helped clarify some things I've been doing poorly. Thanks for putting it together!

[rcvempati]

A nice series to follow. It really helped me understand on how to automate system tasks using Ansible. Well organized way of teaching. Thanks again for sharing.

Just finished watching the whole series today, it definitely gives a good foundation to start working with Ansible. i am so excited to use this in my home lap for all the raspberry pi servers and desktop that i am having, Thanks Jay, you are a wonderful teacher !!! Love from BHARAT

[tomeusastrecabanellas]

As I'm starting with Ansible, all I have to say is thank you very much. I'm going to watch them again because if learn a lot and I want to consolidate it. You're a very great teacher!

This was an excellent series which covered not only the basics of Ansible but also gave some guidelines and best practices on how to set everything up. Loved it. Thanks a lot Jay ❤

This guy has a great teaching technique. By far the best Ansible video on YouTube. He is a genius

[kellyclarke]

Thanks for a great series on Ansible. Most of the tutorials out there are not that great for the Ansible beginner but you covered everything well and you spoke with a tone and pace that is great for learning. Most of those presenting tend to talk very fast. I have auditory processing disorder and I was able to keep up without having to rewind a hundred times. I will most likely become a patreon of your channel. Oh yeah, I got a little bonus of effectively learning Git at the same time. That was too cool.

Wow Jay! I followed all this series and you really have a unique way to explain things and make us understand not so obvious concepts. I also did all what you showed as an exercise and everything just ran smoothly. You express yourself so clearly it would be a shame not to achieve the goals of those series. Thank you for this generosity !

Thanks a lot for the series, I believe this is still the best ansible course.

Very well taught series. Really impressive how you could elaborate each topic without making it confusing while providing very useful details.

Thanks for this series. Your series helped me to try this on my systems at home. I have this now setup for two years and it works. What I like is that you only need a ssh-connection and python on a fresh system to enable it. Good Linux distros have these on the installer image.
I always feared setting up a new computer because it's usually very time consuming and tedious. Even with the intentions to document everything I always forgot something important that cost me again a few hours to fix. Of course the initial Ansible setup also needs some time but with these lessons it was much easier to jump into. Now I am able to setup a computer fresh in 10 minutes and everything is new again. Restore the backup and everything works. 😀

Just getting into using Ansible at work. A very helpful and clearly explained series. Thank you for all your videos Jay

[bmilcs]

Outstanding work on this series of videos. Ansible's Wiki leaves something something to be desired, particularly for beginners. My ADD is strong, but you kept my attention and I was able to absorb the clear and concise foundation of knowledge you provide. I can't wait to deploy these techniques in my homelab of ~20 or so hosts, and retire my ever-growing bash script library :).

You're the man.

[kspm]

Finished the series in 3 hours. Super helpful and absolutely practical! Thanks, Jay!

[rodgersweet]

Jay this entire series which I have watched over the last two days has been absolutely wonderful! Thnak you so much for making this !!!

[cosmicspawn]

This is definitely the best Ansible series here on YouTube. Thanks alot! 👍

[linuxman]

This is VERY well done. You've done a great job helping break down the seemingly complex nature of Ansible. It's not as complex as I thought. Keep up the good work.

[praecorloth]

This was amazing. Really helped me get a jumpstart on Ansible. I've dabbled with it in the past, been able to make it run a few commands. I saw the power in it, but I didn't have the time to dive deeper into it. This series definitely gives a good foundation to start working with Ansible. Thank you much for the walk through!

[roxyboby]

Dedicated 19 days of my time and what a ride it has been. Can't thank you enough Jay. God Bless You! You indeed have a unique Gift which only a few have. you make the most complex of things seem like child's play. thanks you once again and keep it going. I have hooked

[duffyscottc]

Finished the entire series cover to cover, so excited to use this in my personal setups! Thank you!
