Who this course is for:
- Anyone interested in learning network automation
- Anyone interested in DevNet
- Students interested in learning configuration management
- Network engineers
What you’ll learn:Â
- Work on automation – DevNet
- How to become more productive by automating repetitive tasks
- Gain exposure to Cisco, Juniper and Arista devices
Requirements:Â
- Basic understanding of Cisco, Juniper, and Arista commands
- No programming experience is required
The purpose of this course is to not only get you started, but make you an expert in network automation using Ansible. You will go through enough theory that you will understand how Ansible works and then we will start writing Ansible code to communicate with your network devices.Â
This course will cover full installation using GNS3 for Cisco, Juniper, Arista. Has about 20 example playbooks written and executed live while recording. You will go through so many examples that writing Ansible playbooks will become a second nature to you.
The course is divided into following major parts:
- Setup topologies: We will setup topologies in GNS3 for Cisco IOS, Juniper OS, and Arista EOS
- Ansible Essentials: A discussion around common management tools and Ansible architecture
- Ad hoc commands: You will learn how you can use ad hoc commands to pull quick device information and for troubleshooting
- Playbooks for Cisco: 8 Playbooks, covering device backups, setting banner, static routing and route redistribution, OSPF, BGP, and access control.
- Playbooks for Junos: 5 Playbooks, covering device backups, setting up static routing, enable system services, setup logging
- Advance Ansible Concepts: Ansible loops, Variable scopes, Use of include statement
- Playbooks for Arista: 4 Playbooks, covering device info collection, create vlans and SVIs, static routing, and layer 2 port configurations
If you have time for only one course and you want to be confident in your Ansible skills, choose this one. I am sure you will not regret it.

Good for Ansible overview
I found this course to be a good overview of Ansible in a network environment. I was able to glean some small details that I was able to apply in my work environment.
