And yes, my work is now published as CC BY-SA.

Meaning Red Hat could rebuild it and sell it to their customers if they wanted.

And you know what? I'm okay with that.

But I'd rather you just get a free copy from me directly: https://leanpub.com/ansible-for-devops/c/CTVMPCbEeXd3

Ansible for DevOps

Learn how to use Ansible for infrastructure orchestration, provisioning, and application deployment.

@geerlingguy Thanks for that, but I decided to rather buy the book instead to support the creator.
I’ve taught myself #Ansible from the docs to manage a small lab of 6 Linux machines as well as my #RaspberryPi s, but I'm hoping to learn sone additional tricks and best practices from the book.
