The most thing I liked was how this training was organized. It was interactive and we had access to the training's solutions and there was no need to ask for help at minor issues. This Titus could focus on major issues.

Training Structure.
Harsha V Ravuri - Global Knowledge Network Training
No offense to the trainer, but it seemed to me that I had attend and could not refuse since parts of my team in other offices had already attended. I have no idea whether we will really use Ansible. This course seems to be something for a programmer attached to a team with devices to monitor, and programming is not my role. If I had that role in my company, I would have been happy with this course assuming there was a guarantee from my company that we were really going to use Ansible.
