If you are looking forward to adding YAML to your skillset, then this course is what you need. In today's market, every IT professional is expected to know YAML.</strong>
        <p>YAML is a data serialization language. The "YAML Fundamentals" course helps beginners with the required skills to develop YAML documents. Most common languages such as Go, Python, Java, C#, and so on provide support for YAML. You will see YAML being used in various ways in the industry for web service communication, configuration management, configuration files, data storage, and more.

In this course, you will learn about YAML, and compare YAML with HTML, JSON, and XML. You will look at YAML structure, data types in YAML, and complex mapping. After that, you will learn to document multiple YAML documents in a single file, handle multi-line strings, and look at the advanced features of YAML (tags, anchors, chomping, and so on.).

Following that, you will look at representing data using YAML, see different styles of documenting YAML, and tools and technologies leveraging YAML data serialization format. Next, you will be creating and validating YAML using VS Code Editor, using Python to read and extract data from YAML documents, and using Python to determine the data types in YAML documents. Finally, you will be reviewing examples of the Kubernetes YAML document and Ansible YAML playbook.

By the end of this course, you will learn the fundamentals of YAML and build skills to develop a properly structured YAML document from scratch.

<strong>Linux for Networking Engineers (CCNA, CCNP, CCIE etc): Practical Linux with GNS3 = network programmability and automation.</strong>
        <p>It is important for you as a network engineer to learn Linux! Why? There are many reasons including:
A lot of network operating systems are based on Linux, or have a Linux shell you can access, or use Linux type commands. The author shows you an example using Cisco, Arista, and Cumulus Linux. Network Automation tools such as Ansible don't run the command node on Windows. You are probably going to use Linux with tools such as Ansible, Netmkio, NAPALM and other network automation tools. SDN controllers such as OpenDaylight, ONOS, RYU and APIC-EM run on Linux. You will find that many SDN tools require Linux. DevOps tools such as git work best with Linux. IoT devices typically run Linux. A new breed of network devices from companies like Facebook, Microsoft and Cumulus Linux use Linux. 
There are even more reasons, but make sure you don't get left behind! You as a network engineer start learning Linux. Learn how to configure Linux networking, how to create users and assign permissions, how to install and run Linux services such as DNS and DHCP. 
The course uses various GNS3 topologies with devices such as:
1) Linux Docker containers
2) Linux GNS3 QEMU virtual machines
3) Traditional Linux virtual machines
4) Network devices - you could use Cisco, Arista, Cumulus Linux or others
Do you want to see something else added to the course? Just let me know. I like to get your feedback on ways I can improve the course and add more content that you think is relevant.
Networking is changing. Make sure you keep up to date! All the very best!</p>
        <h2>What You Will Learn</h2><p>Learn foundational Linux skills<br>Learn how to practically use Linux in your networks<br>Build Linux networks using GNS3</p>
        <h2>Audience</h2><p>This course is for Network Engineers, Network Architects and anyone who wants to learn about Linux from a networking perspective.</p>
        <h2>Approach</h2><p>Great combination of Linux, SDN, and GNS3, all these put together in one package makes for a superb transition into cloud base technologies with the emphasis on Linux.</p>

<strong>Learn Kubernetes from scratch with this course and gain the skills necessary to deploy and manage containerized applications.</strong>
        <p>The demand for DevOps engineers in the IT industry is ever-increasing, with the average Silicon Valley salary for a DevOps engineer being 20% higher than that of a software engineer. Knowledge of Kubernetes is essential for any DevOps professional, and this course covers everything you need to get up and running with Kubernetes. The most important part of the course is the series of hands-on coding exercises that accompany each major concept, designed to help you deploy your own applications to a Kubernetes platform confidently.
The course starts with an introduction to Kubernetes, enabling you to learn about Docker and containers. Next, you'll set up a lab using VirtualBox and work with Minikube to create a Kubernetes cluster. As you advance, you'll use YAML files to create and deploy Pods and understand how containers/Pods communicate with one another in Kubernetes. You'll also study Kubernetes services and the architecture of Kubernetes microservices. Toward the end, you'll deploy microservices applications to a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Kubernetes cluster and set up a multi-node Kubernetes cluster using kubeadm.

<strong>This concise and comprehensive course takes you through the basic and advanced topics of Ansible, explaining all the concepts clearly and thoroughly. You will not only master the concepts but also learn how to use Ansible with cloud services and containers.</strong>
        <p>Ansible is a simple IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs. Designed for multi-tier deployments from day one, Ansible models IT infrastructure by describing how all the systems interrelate, rather than just managing one system at a time. This course will guide you through multiple topics to make you understand and master Ansible.

The course starts with the learning objectives and introduces you to Ansible. Next, you will learn how to set up the environment by installing the Ansible lab, Docker, and configuring the Secure Shell (SSH) connectivity between hosts. Moving along, you will study the architecture, modules, playbooks, and YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML) syntaxes used in Ansible. Next, you will learn how to structure advanced Ansible playbooks and uncover techniques to use Ansible with cloud services and containers.

Ansible for the Absolute Beginner - Hands-On - DevOps

<strong>If you know various DevOps tools such as Git, Jenkins, Maven, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes, and are not sure how they work collaboratively, then this course is for you. Learn to create a simple DevOps project using Git as the local version control system, GitHub as the distributor version control system, Jenkins as the continuous integration tool, Maven as a build tool, Ansible as configuration management and deployment tool, Docker for containerization, Kubernetes as a container management tool, and all this environment is set up on AWS.</strong>
        <p>In this learning journey, you will be introduced to tools such as GitHub, Jenkins, Maven, Docker, Ansible, and Kubernetes and learn how to integrate these tools to run a project in the real world.

You will start with building and deploying it on the Tomcat server. You will set up CI/CD with GitHub, Jenkins, Maven, and Tomcat. Initially, there is no environment; therefore, you start with setting up Jenkins, configuring Maven and Git, Tomcat server, integrating GitHub, Maven, Tomcat server with Jenkins, creating a CI and CD job, and testing the deployment.

Next, we will cover deploying artifacts on a Docker container as well as with the help of Ansible. For that, first set up Docker environment, write Dockerfile, create an image and container on Docker host, integrate Docker host with Jenkins, and create CI/CD job on Jenkins to build and deploy on a container.

Finally, deploy artifacts on Kubernetes. Almost all the environment is ready by now except for Kubernetes, so we will start with setting up the Ansible server, integrating Docker host with Ansible, Ansible playbook to create an image, Ansible playbook to create continuer, integrating Ansible with Jenkins, and CI/CD job to build code on Ansible and deploy it on Docker container.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently set up and complete CI/CD pipeline to build and deploy a Java application on AWS.
