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.

Discover how to revolutionize network assurance through automation with NetBox Labs and Cisco Catalyst Center. This lab empowers participants to transform manual processes into scalable practices, leveraging dynamic inventory and Ansible workflows for enhanced efficiency and consistency. Embrace a source-of-truth-driven approach to streamline operations and align automation with network intent.

Development Environments Development environments are the first step on your automation journey. This track will help define what a development environment is and provide some hands-on exposure to one solution.

The everyday life of an automation engineer will invariably require a fundamental understanding of Linux. This lab is focused on exposing aspiring automation engineers to the foundational concepts of the Linux operating system.

Application programming interfaces expose access to the system from other systems. Understanding how to utilize the API unlocks endless possibilities in your automation journey.

If you are familiar with Ansible and want to learn how to use Ansible with the Everpure FlashArray, continue on with this lab that demonstrates how to simplify automation of an Everpure FlashArray. *** If you are a Storage admin, new to automation, and want to learn how to automate your Everpure storage environment using Ansible, check out the following lab instead that teaches the basics of Ansible from a storage admin's point of view.- "Ansible Automation Workshop - Pure Ansible Lab" (https://www.wwt.com/lab/ansible-automation-workshop-pure-ansible-lab)

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.

Deploy a Kubernetes cluster on vSphere with SpectroCloud Palette in this hands-on lab. Learn to integrate, automate, and manage container orchestration in a virtualized environment, empowering IT professionals to modernize enterprise workloads with streamlined deployment techniques.
