Course Overview
The Automating Azure with Ansible course by Linux Foundation is designed for IT professionals seeking to master cloud automation using open-source tools within Microsoft Azure environments. While no direct certification exam is tied exclusively to this course, it aligns closely with skills measured in Microsoft's AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions, which validates DevOps engineering expertise. This training is ideal for DevOps Engineers, Cloud Administrators, and Automation Specialists responsible for streamlining infrastructure deployment and configuration management. With 83% of enterprises adopting hybrid cloud strategies and Ansible being one of the most widely used automation platforms, demand for professionals skilled in Azure and Ansible integration continues to grow across industries.
Participants engage with key technologies including Azure Resource Manager, Ansible Automation Platform (AAP), Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Arc, Shared Image Gallery, and Azure Connected Machine agent. The course features hands-on labs conducted in a live Azure environment using the Azure Portal and command-line tools, where students build reusable Ansible playbooks to automate real-world scenarios such as deploying virtual machines from custom images, configuring hybrid servers via Azure Arc, and managing infrastructure at scale. A capstone lab involves creating a complete automation workflow that provisions and configures a multi-tier application environment in Azure, ensuring consistent, repeatable deployments aligned with infrastructure-as-code principles.
This course prepares learners for advanced roles in cloud automation and supports preparation for the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) certification, which recognizes expertise in Ansible automation and is highly valued in DevOps hiring. Professionals with these skills command competitive salaries, with DevOps Engineers earning between $118,000 and $173,750 annually in the U.S., according to Robert Half’s 2026 salary guide. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and access to official Linux Foundation courseware, ensuring structured, instructor-led training. Completing this program positions individuals to lead cloud automation initiatives, drive operational efficiency, and advance into senior engineering or cloud architecture roles.
