Learning Paths and Labs
WWT's Labs and Learning provides on-demand and hands-on education with practical experience and skill-building.
Automation Core Concepts
The Automation Foundations learning path is designed to prepare infrastructure architects and engineers for the journey toward automation. Automation in practice includes a broad ecosystem of skills beyond the specific language or system chosen to automate or orchestrate. This learning path targets building that ecosystem of skills to ensure your automation journey is successful. The fundamental skills covered in this learning path include Linux operating system concepts, setting up your development environment, version control and collaboration features, formats for your data, and application programming interfaces. Each concept covered in this learning path is coupled with both content and hands-on exercises to solidify the knowledge.
Infrastructure Automation with Ansible Automation Platform
This learning path is designed to take your automation journey to the next level. The goal of this learning path is prepare you to implement your automation in an enterprise environment using the Ansible Automation Platform.
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.
New and Popular Events
HIMSS Federal Healthcare Networking Reception
Federal Civilian: Federal Healthcare
PLANS TBD!!!
HIMSS remains a high-impact event for WWT, generating $2M in pipeline in FY25 and directly contributing to wins such as the CMS Cloud Assessment with NGS. It also continues to open doors for new opportunities with key partners including Dell, Cisco, Juniper, and GDIT. Given its consistent track record in driving visibility, strengthening relationships, and delivering measurable business outcomes, HIMSS remains a must-attend event for the Federal Healthcare team. WWT will elevate its presence at this year's event by hosting a targeted federal healthcare networking reception, building on last year's branding-only sponsorship. WWT will engage directly with approximately 150 key customers, prospects, and partners in an exclusive setting.
Cisco Live Super Bowl LX Social
Join WWT's Federal Europe team for Super Bowl LX at Belushi's Sports Bar in downtown Amsterdam. The Super Bowl starts very late in Europe, but if you love football and/or enjoy socializing with peers, then we will see you there!
Please note that seating is limited, so please email Eric Helgeson if you plan to bring a plus one.

AI and Cyber Range
Hands-On Lab Workshop: Prompt Engineering Lab
Join our virtual lab workshop to master prompt engineering using the Prompt Blueprint—a structured approach for creating effective prompts for AI models. This session covers the fundamentals of prompt engineering, including how to use blueprint elements such as task, context, constraints, persona, format, and tone to progressively improve AI responses. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises, to experiment with prompt design and customization for real-world scenarios. Live Q&A with experts is included—ideal for anyone interested in maximizing the value of generative AI tools in their workflows.
CrowdStrike CTF: Falcon
CrowdStrike delivers a unified platform approach to modern security so you can protect and build your future. This game incorporates several new features of CrowdStrike, offering a unique opportunity to test your skills against the latest in cybersecurity technology.
Tools utilized within the game:
🔷Crowdstrike Falcon (EDR tool, end point protection and analysis)
🔷Crowdstrike Logscale (History and logging)
🔷CrowdStrike Cloud Security
🔷CrowdStrike Identity Threat Protection
This is a mixed capture the flag style event that will require you and your team to zero in on malicious actors inside of a network, identify vulnerable or outdated services, and brace yourself for a real-time series of cyber attacks. Points will be awarded for finding those exploits, remediating them to the best of your ability and defending Iron Guardian's network.
