Interested in learning from WWT, industry experts, and skilled professionals on various infrastructure automation and programmability topics?  If so, join us at a Programmability and Automation Meetup Group.

Upcoming Sessions

Our goal is to have a monthly cadence with new and exciting topics to discuss.  Below you will find upcoming meetings, including the session abstract and presenter information.  If you are interested in presenting a topic, please see the Call for Presenters block below.  

Session Details:

During this session, we will show how Slurp'it and Netpicker can solve the three main challenges that engineers face in their network automation journey:

1. How to discover, onboard & reconcile network data with your NSoT (NetBox, Nautobot, or Infrahub)
2. How to validate your network with Python-based network testing
3. How to ensure you stay in control of your network intent vs state

It's for network engineers using NetBox, Nautobot, or Infrahub who are considering using slurpit.io and netpicker.io for network discovery and validation.

More info on what to expect: https://netpicker.io/how-to-succeed-with-network-automation-using-netbox/

Are you interested in presenting at one of the Programmability and Automation Meetup Groups?  If so, please fill out the questionnaire located here to get on the schedule.  If you have any additional questions, please reach out to  Nick Thompson.

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 learn through this lab are also valuable and applicable across other implementations.

Ansible Engine Inventory

This learning path module will teach you about the Ansible Inventory. What role does inventory play? What types of inventory are there? What formats can inventory be in? A hands-on challenge will guide you through inspecting a static Ansible Inventory, comparing INI and YAML formatted inventories, and working with the Ansible settings to specify the inventory location.

Infrastructure Automation

Infrastructure automation can help you build a culture of trust, innovation, and fulfillment. Healthy organizations provide a workplace where people feel safe, empowered, and devoted to a cause. Everything we do is focused on helping people elevate their daily work, feel a greater sense of connection to the success of their organization, and have more time to spend with friends, family, and lifelong devotions. We make that possible by helping organizations break down departmental silos, collectively learn to automate repetitive work, and deliver IT agility that supports strategic success.
