This book jumps into how to install/use Ansible and Vagrant without providing an overview of what Ansible is. Yes the book says that Ansible is a flexible configuration tool, what does that mean? More time should have been spent going into this and elaborating on technologies used in the book.
Practical lessons for getting your feet wet right away.
This is an easy and solid introduction to Ansible and getting up to speed on thinking about your infrastructure as code. Even if you are looking at other tools and technologies in this space, it would still be a good idea to read this book. Outside of the syntax specific to Ansible, the use cases, processes and guidelines presented are applicable to any tool looking to do infrastructure as code (IaC), DevOps, or CI/CD.
