A hands-on tutorial covering how to use Ansible for Infrastructure as Code on AWS. It explains Ansible's core concepts (tasks, inventory, plays, playbooks), compares it to dedicated IaC tools like Terraform, and walks through provisioning a full web stack including VPC, security groups, EC2 instances, and an Application Load Balancer. The tutorial includes complete YAML playbook examples, project structure, and a teardown step to avoid AWS charges. It also briefly covers how Spacelift can orchestrate Ansible workflows alongside other IaC tools.
