Sujet très large. Cependant, j’aurais aimé avoir un exemple plus concret sur une infra réseaux/sécurités.Difficile de traiter tous les sujets en si peu de temps, je le comprends.

Enfin je peux dire que j’ai brisé la glace et je peux me lancer dans la lecture et surtout la compréhension des playbooks. Je ne m’attendais pas à être capable pour le moment d’ en écrire mais déjà lire et comprendre ce que ça fait et pouvoir débugger les playbook existants.Les exercices sont bien conçus mais rajouté à l’environnement distant pas très confortable, on peut vite décrocher. C’est bien de pouvoir rattraper le train en marche en repartant de la correction mis
