Labs for Ansible Engine and Tower

In this repo you’ll find short lab guides to get you started learning the awesomeness of Ansible and a guide for advanced Tower usage. The actual lab environments we use are not documented here but are pretty straight forward. I mean Ansible is all about being simple…​ ;-)

Okay, apart from the advanced Tower lab…​ anyway.
