Ansible playbooks are written in YAML and you can use an text editor "like vim" or an editor like Visual Studio Code to get started. For this workshop, we will be utilizing a web-based IDE (integrated development environment) call Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces. Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces is a developer tool that makes cloud-native development practical for teams, using Kubernetes and containers to provide any member of the development or IT team with a consistent, preconfigured development environment.
Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces
Built on Eclipse Che, Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces provides a collaborative Kubernetes-native solution for rapid application development. For this workshop, you will use Code Ready Workspaces to run the Ansible CLI and write blueprints of automation tasks (known as Ansible playbooks).
