Chennai — India’s “Gateway to South India” and a thriving IT powerhouse — is home to global giants like Cognizant, TCS, Zoho, and Freshworks. In this city where digital transformation drives everything from banking to automotive, automation isn’t a luxury — it’s a survival necessity.
Enter Ansible: the agentless, simple, and powerful automation engine that has become the backbone of DevOps pipelines worldwide. And if you’re in Chennai looking to master Ansible, the Ansible Training in Chennai by DevOpsSchool is hands-down the best investment you can make in your career.
Mentored by Rajesh Kumar a 20+ year veteran in DevOps, Cloud, and Automation — this program isn’t just about learning syntax. It’s about building real-world, production-grade automation systems that get you hired (or promoted) fast.
Let’s unpack everything you need to know — from curriculum to career impact — in this comprehensive 5-page deep dive.
