Configure and manage network infrastructure using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
Course Description
Network Automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (DO457) is designed for network administrators or infrastructure automation engineers who want to use network automation to centrally manage the switches, routers, and other devices in the organization's network infrastructure. Learn how to use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to remotely automate the configuration of network devices, test and validate the current network state, and perform compliance checks to detect and correct configuration drift.
Course Summary
- Prepare a development environment for Ansible network automation
- Write and troubleshoot effective Ansible Playbooks for network automation
- Gather information about network infrastructure configuration for infrastructure awareness and configuration backup
- Automate specific network administration use cases, including configuration of routers and switches, ports, VLANs, SNMP monitoring, and routing protocols
- Use Ansible Playbooks to manage devices from various hardware vendors, including Cisco, Juniper, and Arista
- Centrally manage Ansible content in Git and run it centrally with automation controller
- Reuse existing, tested network automation code with Ansible Roles, Ansible Content Collections, and Ansible validated content
Learning Outcomes
As a result of attending this course, you will be able to use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to write Ansible Playbooks and launch them to manage the routers, switches, and other devices in your network infrastructure. You will have experience with using Ansible to automate several common use cases and have a basic understanding of how to write playbooks that can target devices made by different network hardware vendors supported by Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
