Very broad subject. However, I would have liked to have seen a more concrete example of a network/security infrastructure. It's difficult to cover all the subjects in such a short space of time, I understand that.

At last I can say that I've broken the ice and I can start reading and, above all, understanding playbooks. I wasn't expecting to be able to write any yet, but I've already read and understood what it does and been able to debug existing playbooks. The exercises are well designed, but when you add in the remote environment, which isn't very comfortable, you can quickly lose interest. It's good to be able to catch up by starting again from the correction put in place.
