Description of the Advanced Ansible Training Course – Optimise fleet management and application deployment.
Automating a task with Ansible is good. Industrialising deployments with Ansible is strategic.
Designed for technical teams, this course will enable you to establish a solid, maintainable and scalable foundation for automating your deliveries and operations.
In this advanced Ansible training course, you will learn how to structure your playbooks, manage complex environments, make your deployment pipelines more reliable, secure your configurations, and integrate Ansible into a complete CI/CD chain.
Also discover our Ansible Training Course– Master DevOps Automation from Configuration to Continuous Integration, our Ansible Training Course – Simple, Powerful, Agentless Automation for Your Infrastructure, our Git Training Course, our Advanced Git Training Course, our GitLab CI/CD Training Course and our Docker Training Course.
Format
Remote (recorded sessions).
GOOD TO KNOW
This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Each session will take place even if only one person is registered (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.
This training course is part of our DevOps Training Courses. Discover our complete DevOps offer to go further in automation, CI/CD and infrastructure industrialisation.
objectives of this Advanced Ansible Training Course
By the end, each participant will be able to :
- Standardise and factorise playbooks with a modular structure.
- Manage multiple environments (dev, test, prod) via variables, inventories and roles.
- Automate complex application or system deployments.
- Integrate Ansible into a CI/CD strategy (GitLab, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.).
- Secure secrets with Ansible Vault and auditing practices
- Optimise execution performance and manage errors in production
Prerequisites
- Good command of Ansible fundamentals: playbooks, inventories, YAML
- Knowledge of Linux and network administration
- Previous experience using Ansible in a real project or CI/CD context
- Because each participant has a unique background and expectations, a preliminary interview with our expert allows us to precisely identify their objectives, level and professional challenges.
This enables us to tailor the training content to ensure relevant and personalised learning.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This training course is aimed at DevOps, system engineers, production managers and tech leads who are ready to seriously structure their automation.

FAQ – Advanced Ansible Training
What is Ansible for deployments?
Ansible is an open-source automation and configuration tool from Red Hat. It runs YAML playbooks to deploy, configure, and orchestrate infrastructures without agents. It is particularly well-suited to complex, multi-server, and reproducible deployments. MFE-IT trains Ops and DevOps teams in advanced automation with Ansible.
What is the difference between an Ansible playbook and a role?
A playbook is the main YAML file that orchestrates tasks on an inventory, while a role is a reusable structure grouping tasks, variables, templates, and handlers around a specific objective (installing Nginx, configuring a firewall, etc.). Roles make sharing and reuse easier through Ansible Galaxy. MFE-IT shows how to structure them.
How do you organize an Ansible project for complex deployments?
You structure it with inventories per environment, reusable roles, separate variables (group_vars, host_vars), secret encryption via Ansible Vault, testing with Molecule, and execution via AWX or Ansible Automation Platform. MFE-IT covers these best practices for your large-scale deployments.
How long is the MFE-IT Advanced Ansible training?
The training lasts 2 days, i.e. 14 hours, either remotely or on-site, with a maximum of 3 participants per session and 30 days of post-training support included.
