Ansible Automation Workshop - Cisco Ansible Lab
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.
Infrastructure Automation Source of Truth
The Infrastructure Automation Source of Truth learning path is designed to teach infrastructure engineers the critical concepts of managing data for their automation. This learning path will help you understand what a Source of Truth is and what considerations you account for when building your Source of Truth.
Following the Source of Truth overview, you will dive into two specific Source of Truth solutions: Text File-based Source of Truth and NetBox as a Source of Truth.
In the Text File SoT section, you will learn how to use a files-based source of truth in your automation effectively. This module will guide you through different methods of managing and consuming text files as a source of automation data.
The NetBox module is designed to teach you how to interface with NetBox as a source of truth for variable data and inventory.
The hands-on labs for file-based and NetBox SoT are packed with guided challenges to deliver practical practice for the concepts covered.
Infrastructure Automation: Automated Testing
This learning path is designed to guide infrastructure engineers through the essential concepts of automated testing in the context of infrastructure automation. You will learn how to integrate Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines into your automation workflows, implement static code analysis to ensure code quality, and master Ansible Molecule for testing and validating infrastructure automation code. By the end of this learning path, you will be equipped to integrate testing into your automation efforts.
This learning path is part of the Infrastructure Automation with Ansible Learning Series.
Introduction to Ansible Molecule
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.
Windows Management With Ansible
To keep up with the growing speed of business demands, there's a pressing need to make programmability and automation an inherent part of operational IT processes. WWT offers hands-on Ansible Automation Training Labs to help customers learn how to get started using centralized automation tools to manage and deploy configurations.
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.
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.
