Ansible Infrastructure Automation
Verify hands-on configuration management skills for infrastructure and automation roles.
About This Assessment
Infrastructure automation roles require practical configuration management experience, yet many candidates list Ansible on resumes without hands-on proficiency. This assessment tests ability to write playbooks, manage inventory, handle variables, and automate common infrastructure tasks. Critical for companies hiring infrastructure engineers, DevOps practitioners, and SREs at scale who need to verify candidates can actually automate server configuration and application deployment.
What Candidates Will Do
Write Ansible playbooks to configure web servers with specific packages, users, and services
Create reusable roles for common infrastructure patterns with proper variable management
Implement idempotent automation that can be run multiple times safely
Automated Grading
Automated testing verifies playbook syntax is valid, all hosts are reachable and configured correctly, specified packages are installed, services are running and enabled, configuration files have correct content and permissions, and playbooks can be re-run without causing errors (idempotency).
Environment
One Ubuntu 22.04 control node with Ansible installed, plus 2-3 target Ubuntu 22.04 nodes for configuration. SSH keys pre-configured for passwordless access between nodes.
