Duration 4 Days 24 CPD hours This course is intended for The primary audience for this course is as follows: Network Administrators Administrators interested in Automation Individuals interested in devops, specifically for networking Overview This course teaches students to blend Python skillsets with Ansible through the lens of automating networks. Automation techniques for the most popular vendor (incl. Cisco, Juniper, Arista) will be subjects of study, however, students may request examples from vendors within their own environments. Topics begin with a focus on automating networks with Python; this skill set is then folded into a broadening understanding of automating with Ansible. Students will have programmatic experience automating enterprise class networks by the conclusion of this course (includes writing custom Ansible modules with Python). Class is a combination of lecture, demonstration, and hands-on labs. Students are invited to share their own relevant Python and Ansible scripts with the instructor to ensure class subjects are as relevant as possible. All notes and scripts will be made available to students by the end of each day via a cloud-share or email. Lab time will be given reinforce that day's topics and demonstrations. No two networks are the same! Learn to automate your network with a Python and Ansible skillset. Course can be taught across all major (and most minor) network vendors.
