Security Automation with Ansible 2
Security automation is one of the most interesting skills to have nowadays. With over 750 automation modules, Ansible makes it easy for you to secure any part of your system—be it setting firewalls, providing authentication to users and groups, or setting custom security policies. It allows you to write automation procedures once and use them across your entire infrastructure. This book will teach you the best way to use Ansible for seemingly complex tasks by using the various building blocks available and creating solutions that are easy to teach others, store for later, perform version control on, and repeat.
