In this course, you will learn about Ansible's key components, the different applications of automation, and the features available within the Ansible platform. You will learn about Ansible's key tools and commands, orchestration, and how to use patterns as well as their limitations. You'll also identify how to use playbooks, and learn how to use Ansible Vault for encryption. Finally, you'll learn about the possible use cases for the Ansible toolset in a modern DevOps practice. Upon completion, you'll be familiar with key concepts and be able to perform basic operations in Ansible.

In this course, you will discover practical uses of Ansible, including how to install, configure, and upgrade Ansible. You will learn how to create inventories, how to execute common commands, tasks, and playbooks, and how to troubleshoot possible playbook issues. Next, you will explore the command line interface to execute common options and use the debugger to resolve errors. Then, you will work with various Ansible plugins and determine when to use them. And finally, you will learn the best practices associated with using the Ansible Automation Platform. Upon course completion, you will be able to install and configure Ansible, work with playbooks, and define best practices.

End-to-end testing with Postman is a crucial aspect of ensuring the seamless functionality and reliability of application programming interfaces (APIs). In the context of Postman, end-to-end testing involves evaluating all facets of an API's functionality by simulating real-world user scenarios. You will begin this course by performing end-to-end testing of your APIs, targeting all aspects of their functionality with simulated user requests. You will also learn how you can perform looping in Postman. You will configure loops to allow you to execute the same request multiple times before moving to other requests in your collection. Following that, you will learn to create mock servers, a technique useful for testing API functionality before its development is complete. You will also learn how to configure the API to return correct responses and error responses. Next, you will explore how to perform collection monitoring, allowing you to automate and schedule the execution of a request or collection. Finally, you will generate and publish documentation for your requests.
