OVERVIEW

Welcome to the Multi-Vendor Ansible Network Automation Workshop!

This hands-on workshop is your chance to master Ansible automation for real-world network use cases. You'll work with a lab environment featuring equipment from Cisco, Juniper, and Arista. Beyond just automating tasks, we'll dive into best practices for deploying automation at scale and explore how to use Ansible to handle common operational tasks and troubleshoot network issues.

What to Expect

The workshop is on October 23rd from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST.

Prerequisites

To get the most out of this session, you should be familiar with a few key concepts.

Technical Requirements

You'll need a web browser with HTTPS access to complete the labs. If your corporate VPN or proxy blocks access to the lab environment, don't worry—we'll demo the solutions on screen. For the best experience, we recommend using two monitors.

Knowledge Requirements

This workshop is designed for those with:

  • Intermediate knowledge of Ansible.
  • Intermediate to expert knowledge of networking, particularly switching and routing.
  • Basic knowledge of navigating a Linux shell is helpful but not required.

Space is limited, so secure your spot to explore the world of multi-vendor Ansible network automation.
