Please suggest

There are quite a few free and paid training resources. 

There are a lot of different videos out there.  A good starting point might be the Quick Start video: https://www.ansible.com/resources/videos/quick-start-video?hsLang=en-us.  It should provide you with some solid information, although I'll admit it's been a while since I've checked it out.

Red Hat Training also has a free technical overview, "Ansible Basics: Automation Technical Overview" (DO007), that is also a good starting point covering the basics.

Other video sources include

• https://www.ansible.com/resources/videos
• On YouTube at the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform channel.

The Ansible blog ("The Inside Playbook") might have some resources of interest: https://www.ansible.com/blog.

A number of self-paced hands-on labs are available at https://www.redhat.com/en/engage/redhat-ansible-automation-202108061218; these are provided through the product team and are developed separately from the official training courses that we offer.

When and if you get to the point that you're interested in formal training, please check out our skills path finder mentioned at the start of this thread.  Best wishes for your exploration of Ansible!
