AU245 – Configuration as Code for Enterprise Automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

AU245 – Configuration as Code for Enterprise Automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform develops practical capability in configuration as code principles, Git workflows, Ansible content, inventories, variables, roles, collections, controller configuration, automation controller APIs, testing, promotion, governance, and drift control.

The learning journey progresses through Configuration-as-Code Principles, Git Structure, Branches, Reviews, and Ownership; Inventories, Credentials, Projects, Templates, Variables, Roles, and Collections; Controller Configuration, APIs, Automation, Testing, Promotion, and Rollback; Drift Detection, Security, Governance, Audit Evidence, and Improvement. Each stage connects Red Hat concepts with implementation decisions, security, validation, troubleshooting, and support responsibilities.

Learners work through an automation platform team managing controller configuration and automation standards through version-controlled code and produce a practical configuration-as-code repository, promotion workflow, automated validation, and governance checklist suitable for implementation review and operational handover.

What You Will Learn

• Explain configuration-as-code principles within a realistic configuration as code implementation.
• Configure Git structure and review controls using clear prerequisites and repeatable Red Hat procedures.
• Apply controller inventories and credentials to a production-focused configuration as code scenario.
• Validate projects, templates, roles, and collections with observable evidence and acceptance criteria.
• Troubleshoot API-driven controller configuration through targeted checks and corrective testing.
• Compare testing, promotion, and rollback options and justify the selected approach.
• Document drift detection and security for review, support, and operational handover.
• Improve automation governance and audit evidence through monitoring, automation, and governance.

SkillDynamo Training Approach

Training combines course-specific demonstrations, guided Red Hat exercises, scenario analysis, validation checklists, targeted troubleshooting, and a final improvement plan for configuration as code.
