CICD for Automation Engineers
This lab is a component of the Infrastructure Automation Automated Testing learning path in the Infrastructure Automation with Ansible Learning Series. The goal of this learning path is to provide hands-on and practical exposure to the concepts of implementing Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery.
The lab will utilize Gitea as the Source Code Manager (SCM) which includes Gitea Actions for executing CICD Workflows. Gitea Actions map almost identically to GitHub actions so the Gitea specific knowledge gained maps directly to GitHub implementations. The general concepts learning through this lab are also valuable and applicable across other implementations.
Implementing Static Code Analysis
Ensuring your code meets syntactical and style standards is an important part of the automation development process. This training lab will introduce you to different linters that can be used in an Ansible automation development lifecycle.
A linter is a tool that analyzes source code to identify and report potential errors, bugs, stylistic errors, and other issues, helping to improve code quality.
You will learn about two different linters and multiple points of execution to ensure that only clean code reaches your production branch.

Zero Trust
Hands-On Lab Workshop: Zscaler Zero Trust – Branch Connector and Airgap
Join our virtual hands-on lab to explore Zscaler's Zero Trust Branch (ZTB) platform, focusing on Branch Connector and Airgap technologies. This session demonstrates how Zscaler's modern approach moves beyond legacy network architectures to enforce least-privilege access and advanced micro-segmentation. You'll see how each endpoint is isolated, dramatically reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement—crucial for containing breaches and limiting internal threats.
Participants will tour the Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA), Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), and Privileged Remote Access (PRA) consoles, and observe how policies and rule sets provide granular control over user and device access for both internal (East-West) and external (North-South) traffic. The lab is read-only, but you'll be able to view all Zscaler modules and their settings in action
