Data-driven Automation with Netbox
In this hands-on lab, learners will explore how to build and configure a data-driven automation workflow using Ansible Automation Platform and NetBox. The lab guides users through practical exercises that demonstrate how real-time source of truth changes can trigger automated configuration. Participants will configure NetBox event rules and webhooks to emit actionable events, set up Event-Driven Ansible event streams to receive and process those events, and create rulebook activations that respond intelligently. By the end of the lab, learners will have a working solution that tightly integrates their source of truth with automation workflows—enabling scalable, responsive infrastructure management.

Red Hat OpenShift Disconnected Install Lab
In this hands-on lab, you'll learn how to set up a disconnected installation of OpenShift, allowing you to deploy and manage OpenShift clusters in environments without direct internet access. You'll begin by downloading the necessary OpenShift components on a connected host, transferring them to a disconnected host, and proceeding with installing OpenShift on bare metal servers using the agent-based installer. By the end of this lab, you'll have a fully functional, disconnected OpenShift cluster. This lab is ideal for users working in secure or isolated environments where external connectivity is restricted or non-existent.

Infrastructure Automation with Ansible
In today's complex and fast-paced IT landscape, the need for automation has never been greater. Organizations of all sizes are looking for solutions that can streamline their operations, enhance efficiency, and reduce errors. Ansible stands
out as a powerful automation tool, hitting the mark on several key points that make it an ideal choice for teams of all backgrounds and expertise levels.
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.
