Deploy Kubernetes Apps Automatically with Ansible Playbook | Full Demo + Auto TLS Certificates

Description

Deploying apps on Kubernetes manually with kubectl apply, generating TLS certificates, creating secrets, and building ingress rules can be painful, especially in production, where you deploy dozens of apps, not one. In this video, I’ll show you how to automate everything with a single Ansible playbook using: ✅ kubernetes.core (K8s automation) ✅ community.crypto (TLS, key, certificate generation) ✅ Dynamic Jinja2 templating ✅ Fully idempotent Kubernetes deployments ✅ Automatic TLS, Secrets & Ingress creation By the end, you’ll see how Ansible integrates directly with Kubernetes to deliver production-grade automation without writing a single kubectl command. This is the same approach used by Platform Engineering & DevOps teams to eliminate human error and standardise application delivery.
