Thanks good video, but if you want to be great video , 😊you would show how to use in production, ie dont disable host key check. Setup vault all from beginning, just some advice. So many videos show the "lazy" way. Standout by going extra mile

how kubernetes and secrets manager or vaults are integrated?

You're doing a quality video's. It's really helping me in my interview preparation and learning tools

You desever a million views bro.. Thank you so much

Great work. it is really helpful...The way you teach is very clear and understandable...Now, i got some knowledge on Ansible. Thank you very much for the video. one question: using Ansible, can we configure windows also or it is useful to configure Linux only?

Nice video... please make a video on Ansible-vault

Thank you very for this awesome tutorial
