<strong>The "YAML Fundamentals" course helps beginners with the required skills to develop YAML documents. It will also help you gain skills to develop a properly structured YAML document in both block style and flow style. The "flow style" is also known as JSON style or compact style. 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.

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.

<strong>With this course, you will master all CloudFormation concepts, and become confident in writing CloudFormation templates using YAML. Throughout the course, you will encounter various interesting examples and activities that will help you to consolidate your learning.</strong>
        <p>AWS CloudFormation is the best way to write, deploy, and maintain your AWS infrastructure and supports most of the AWS services, and is the safest way to make your AWS infrastructure evolve over time. This course is an excellent course on AWS CloudFormation that covers almost everything. 

The course starts with an introduction to AWS CloudFormation, explaining the advantages and high-level concepts of CloudFormation. Next, you will write your first AWS CloudFormation template in YAML to create an AWS S3 bucket. Moving along, you will become familiar with the CloudFormation parameters and resources, and learn how to use mapping to infer pre-defined values based on the AWS environment type. Next, you will work with outputs and conditions, and learn techniques to enhance the usability of the CloudFormation template using Metadata. Later, you will configure the resources and create re-usable pieces of code across the CloudFormation stacks. Towards the end, you will take a step ahead in CloudFormation by learning advanced concepts, such as troposphere and deletion policy. 

By the end of this course, you will become well-versed with the concepts needed to write and launch productive CloudFormation templates using YAML.

Git Essentials for Beginners

<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. Towards the end, you will learn how to use Ansible for validation, testing, and troubleshooting.

By the end of this course, you will have mastered the basic and advanced concepts of Ansible and will have developed the skills needed to work on real-world Ansible projects.

        <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.
