Why attend?
Attending the Ansible Automation Platform event gives you an opportunity to immerse yourself in industry-leading automation insights that can transform your business operations by adopting a "mission-critical" mindset.
You'll have the opportunity to hear from experts and learn best practices for automating real-world scenarios.
When you leave this interactive event, you'll be able to:
Understand how AAP can drive efficiency from planning, to provision, to maintenance in your IT estate
Experience diverse use cases that can leverage Ansible automation
Have an amazing time while building new connections as you explore your automation journey
Lab Highlights (see more details below)
Lab 1: Introspection and planning (Day-0)
You have just joined a new team and you are new to automating. You would like to start and would like to leverage AAP to gather information around various infrastructure (“safe” read-only activities). Let’s leverage automation to find out more about what we have in order to gain insights into what can and should be done next!
Lab 2: Standardizing deployments with workflows (Day-1)
Let’s proceed with deploying and verifying a new application to production. We’ll create a workflow that reuses existing templates that have been provided already by the different teams to build out their production environments
Lab 3: Enhancing operational efficiencies (Day-2)
Once you have successfully deployed a production environment, we want to ensure we can leverage the business benefits by introducing better methods of automating and using Event-Driven Ansible to safeguard mission critical components such as your delivery network or application
Who is this event best for?

You want to start automating but you don’t want to impact any production servers or make any changes.
In this challenge we focus on creating file system backups and creating scheduled snapshots.
Why is this important ?
Being able to drive backups/snapshots automatically allows us to safeguard against future problematic changes to systems.
Automating backups as part of an automation workflow allows us to roll back changes in the event of a task failure.

You want to start automating but you don’t want to impact any production servers or make any changes.
In this challenge we focus on Ansible’s ability to gather data on our systems and to use this data for infrastructure awareness.
Why is this important?
Ansible is able to automate multiple domains, this makes it a powerful tool to gather facts, collect important service data and create dynamic reports for our teams awareness.

You want to start automating, but you don’t want to impact any production servers or make any changes.
In this challenge we utilize the ansible.windows content collection to gather a required update list
Why is this important?
Patch management is a critical part of infrastructure. Finding out which updates are needed can be extremely useful at scale. Ansible Automation Platform can provide a centralized reporting and patch management interface for your different servers.
