We are offering two different workshops to choose from: 
 

Ansible® Network Automation Workshop

Or 

Event Driven Automation Workshop

Ansible Network Automation Workshop

The Ansible Network Automation Workshop is a 90 minute, hands-on workshop covering Ansible Automation with respect to routers and switches. Attendees will learn how to pull facts from devices, build templated network configurations, and apply these concepts at scale with Ansible Automation Platform. You’ll put it all together by exploring the job templates, surveys, access controls and more.
 
Note: In this workshop, attendees will be managing network devices, specifically a Cisco IOS-XE router.
 
Who is this workshop best for?

Event Driven Automation Workshop

As a part of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Event-Driven Ansible can process events containing discrete intelligence about conditions in the IT environment, determine the appropriate response to the event, then execute automated actions to address or remediate the event. This workshop will demonstrate Event-Driven Ansible and how it provides the event-handling capability needed to automate time-consuming tasks and respond to changing conditions in any IT domain.
 
Join this workshop to learn how Event-Driven Ansible can help you automate a variety of tasks across your IT environment.
 
Who is this workshop best for?
Advanced Ansible users and SRE's will benefit from this workshop. The workshop introduces the domain of observability and automation.
 
Tasks in this lab include:
  • Why organizations should leverage Event-Driven Ansible
  • Introduction into EDA concepts and use cases
  • Introduction into Rulebooks and Rulebook operation
  • Ansible-rulebook (cli-tool)
  • EDA Controller (webUI for Event-Driven Ansible)
  • Advanced Rulebook creation
