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.

Explore the fundamentals of Ansible Molecule in this hands-on lab, designed to introduce learners to automated testing for Ansible roles and playbooks. Participants will gain practical experience in setting up test scenarios, running Ansible Molecule's various stages from the command line, and integrating Ansible Molecule with a CICD pipeline.

This lab is part of the Infrastructure Automation Source of Truth Learning Path and is designed to teach the user how to interface with NetBox as a source of truth for variable data and inventory.

This lab is a part of the Infrastructure Automation with Ansible learning path. This module educates the consumer on structured and unstructured data, Ansible cli_parse module and how to use Jinja to transform data structures.

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.

This lab is the first module of the Infrastructure automation with Ansible learning path. This learning path module begins with an overview of Ansible Engine and it's key components. You will learning about the roles each component plays in the overall Ansible Engine solution. This overview aims to answer these questions: - Why Ansible? - What is Ansible? - How does Ansible work? Following the overview you will be challenged with a hands-on lab which will guide you through setting up your local development environment for Ansible. - Create a Python Virtual Environment - Configure Visual Studio Code

Ansible Ad Hoc commands are one-time, command-line tasks you can run with the ansible command line tool without creating playbooks. They are useful for quick tasks, system maintenance, or when you don't need to write a full playbook. This learning path module will introduce you to the ansible CLI tool and teach you how to run Ansible Ad Hoc commands.

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.

Ansible playbooks define what and how changes are made to managed nodes in the Ansible automation system. This learning path module will inspect the anatomy of a playbook and highlight the key components.

Variables are the key to making flexible and reusable automation. In this module, you'll unlock the power of dynamic automation using Ansible variables. This learning module is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to leverage variables effectively in your automation workflows.

This module is a component of the Infrastructure Automation with Ansible Learning Path. This module aims to teach you the basics about using native Ansible modules to perform simple state validation of your automation. There are many use cases in the infrastructure where the target device could be configured correctly, but the desired end state is still not achieved. Your automation can be fortified using simple testing strategies to ensure the outcome matches your expectations.

Ansible Automation Hub is a Content Management System. Environments using the Ansible Automation Platform will have access to Automation Hub to manage the Ansible Content available for use through the Ansible Automation Platform. This module focuses on teaching the learner about the features and how to integrate Automation Hub into their development workflow.

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.

Welcome to WWT's introduction to Ansible automation for the Dell PowerStore storage platform. In this lab, you will learn the basics of how to automate fundamental Dell PowerStore storage array administrative tasks utilizing Ansible. This lab is estimated to take under 1 hour to complete. The intended lab audience is a systems engineer with a basic understanding of PowerStore and Ansible components.

AI has taken center stage in the automation landscape, transforming how we develop and manage infrastructure. In this hands-on lab, you'll explore how to harness the innovative capabilities of Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed with IBM watsonx Code Assistant—a powerful generative AI service designed to accelerate your Ansible content creation and maintenance. Guided step-by-step, you'll set up and utilize this service within your local development environment using Visual Studio Code, empowering you to automate faster and smarter.

This lab is intended for internal use only in the Ansible Automation Workshop. Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) is an enterprise automation solution from Red Hat designed to join the power of Ansible Engine for automation with a suite of products that allow you to centralize, standardize, and operationalize your enterprise's automation at scale. This **hands-on** lab is designed to accompany the instructor-led workshop and provides exercises for practicing what you've learned about the Ansible Automation Platform ecosystem. The full instructional content is available in the [Infrastructure Automation with Ansible Automation Platform Learning Path](https://www.wwt.com/learning-path/infrastructure-automation-with-ansible-automation-platform), which includes these hands-on labs plus additional instruction to teach you about AAP.
