[@autoheadroy1140]

Love your videos. Your way of explaining helps anyone who is technically challenged! Keep posting!

[@nielssommer7253]

Great Videos Sai - the structured approach makes it much easier to understand

[@rociorodriguez4410]

Like your videos and way of explaining everything. Simple and clear. Thanks a lot!!

[@aucestovara]

excellent explanation! Usually people that know as much as you do have problems explaining/teaching the subjecrt but that is not the case with you. Thank you for the clarity

[@lahbaeil]

Thanks @IBM ! My preferred KZbin channel for explanations of new concepts

[@user-jc9xz8ps8l]

What a great overhead description! thanks

[@varunaws4432]

Fantastic and clear explanation, thanks so much.

[@akashdeshmukh9155]

Most informative video regarding basic idea of ansible.

[@ernestlequimboh8598]

This is one of the best videos I have ever watch!

[@chriswalker2892]

Excellent Videos Sai. Much appreciated

[@F1oydRose]

Love the video quality, good job

[@XboxGamerkings]

Great video! This is a better explanation than I get at school :/

[@vasquca1]

Awesome explanation and presentation.

[@safiyyakareem6438]

@Sai the best 👀 🐝 Mer 👏 inspiring light boarding sessions as usual ☺

[@Sunny-pd7hw]

beautiful explanation

[@vanitymeetstechnology8792]

Thank you Sai.. it was helpful

[@orjichikah]

Once again, very helpful video, though I had difficulty following the teaching initially. Had to look up a more basic definition of Ansible and its use cases, before finally understanding. It all made sense in the end. Thank you.

[@benjaminspinola1788]

I absolutely agree. This video is called "What is Ansible". And this question is never properly answered. It's more a tutorial how to use it. But what it is and what it is used for remains unclear to me

[@Flankymanga]

Good video! Thanks for explanation.

[@muchimi]

awesome instruction!! thank you very much

[@ChanceMinus]

That was excellent. Thank you.

[@chaozkreator]

Great explanation as always. I love this guy!

[@felipeschossler2871]

EXACTLY

[@yourtube12345]

Love ???? What the heck

[@alappara_kelappurom778]

Great Explanation.

[@aswinkumar1995]

Excellent explanation :)

[@dmitriminaev]

1. How do you make sure you have the correct inventory on all machines used to run Ansible? 2. How do you make sure you have the last version of the playbook? 3. How do you apply one version of the playbook to one group of hosts and another version to another group of hosts?

[@ParthibanNagarajan]

Amazing video

[@rafaelviegas7608]

Hello. Great video. Where can I get ansible example files?

[@raihanmdsiqbal9097]

Please do create complete courses along with free labs it will empower more people and poor students like us. God bless. Please think about this and come up with courses and labs. Really appreciate the content and it is awesome.

[@selmakarakaya3256]

Best explanation ever

[@madhu_parimi]

Thank you IBM.

[@petchpaitoon]

Does Ansible is declarative or procedure type ? I was understad when we compare Ansible(precedure) vs Terraform (declarative)

[@belindaanwei8267]

Great one

[@Sudo-hc9ji]

Thank you!

[@xordux7]

East to west Sai is the best 👍

[@JakeTheMuss10454]

Could Ansible be implemented in Industrial scale and Mid scale Manufacturing, &/ or CnC Machines?

[@Rahul-ik4fd]

Superb..Can I get the entire course in udemy?

[@zhentaomi9448]

good explanation

[@alexanderkinyanjui3339]

You come on this channel as a noobie and leave feeling like you're ready to publish an online course. Good stuff.

[@IBMTechnology]

😀 That's awesome to hear, Alexander, thank you! We're glad you found it useful! 🙏

[@kadhiresannarayanaswamy7348]

Best, worth investing the time. Earned a sub !

[@IBMTechnology]

Thank you, Kadhiresan! 🙏 Glad you found it useful. What other subjects would you like to learn more about on our channel?

[@gracekumarrajendra529]

Super

[@snipacode7382]

How did you do that glass writing thingyMajeegi

[@andiidoode]

so, what is Ansible typically used for?

[@MegaEssid]

thanks great video

[@muhammadshameem5674]

What a Hiring IBM ! He is simply the 🐐

[@backtonatureitis]

This is good stuff

[@hiteshsuthar1097]

Appreciated

[@allenfouladi4774]

Yaml + Jinja2 for dynamic variabilization ;)

[@Fruhmple]

I can't get past this guy having better handwriting while writing mirrored on glass, then when I write normally.

[@vimalneha]

We just need Python installed on the target VMS we want to SSH. But good introduction. Ansible is written in PYTHON.

[@glowiever]

k8s or ansible? which is better?

[@timmycoates]

It's not clear what Ansible did to support the provision step. Can someone explain?

[@gauravraw]

Thanks for the video! So, it's basically an open source version of SCCM with task sequences, supporting grouping of servers

[@tonischafer6709]

Is the glass a smart board? Thanks for the video!

[@tonischafer6709]

As for the video itself, I’m not a big GitHub user so some of the concepts at the beginning threw me for a loop. I may have to rewatch this again later.

[@IBMTechnology]

Hey Toni! 😀 Here's a post we wrote to explain how these videos are created ibm.co/3m5v1l3

[@sadicabu]

@@IBMTechnology is just amazing. 😀

[@UBAYBE]

What did you use to create the screen overlay (Glass andmarker, or tablet and software?)

[@IBMTechnology]

Hey there! We shared some behind the scenes of our videos on the Community page, check it out here 👉 ibm.co/3IKRuzl 😉

[@suryha3d]

how you make this video like this, ? i need explain.

[@AndRooooooo]

I wasn't able to focus because the "writing backwards" was really tripping me out... 😂

[@TheMadMagician87]

Yeah, that's not how lightboards work. It's either filmed in a mirror or flipped in post production.

[@saurabhpadole6102]

What a skill of writing in backwards!!!! 😅

[@CHANDANDCMS]

Hmm Sai so you like VPC !! ;-)

[@AnNguyen-wh2cu]

👍

[@superpowerkkk]

amazing, he's performing mirror writing.

[@TheRealHealthNutz]

It wasn’t initially developed by Redhat.

[@thingthing978]

This man is writing all his notes BACKWARDS for us

[@IBMTechnology]

Search on "lightboard videos".

[@moverecursus1337]

God bless this guy for this effort writing backwards for us 🙏

[@alessandroaiezza4339]

7:58 - It is pronounced IDEM-POTENT kzbin.info/www/bejne/maSsn4Gka9WZipY

[@TwstedTV]

Its funny how Network engineers are using Ansible and Software Developers are using Terraform.....LOL By the way Cisco requires Ansible in its test to become CCNA certified. - But DevOps & other Software Engineers certification requires Terraform. Also ( 6:20 ) Terraform operate's using an agentless architecture. -- This person in this video claiming that Anisible is the only one that is agentless is false...

[@ejdebowski468]

Thought this guy invested countless hours to get good at writing backwards on glass for me.

[@felipeschossler2871]

If there Sai Vennam, i'm here.

[@gururajnaik115]

Sai Venom ? TF bro Its Vennnaam

[@anandptyagi5275]

PsyVenom

[@jacobsan]

Wrong from the start. It wasn't initially developed by red hat. Go on spreading misinfo.

[@speedabort2354]

first of all STOP writing opposite like that, it creaps me out, i know its an software. but i am creaping out just thinking how could he write that way

[@gurpindersidhu4620]

was not a helpful video, didn't understand much from it.
