New - Learn how to automate your network using Python and Playbooks.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to using Ansible for network automation and management. Ansible’s agentless nature and human-readable YAML syntax lower the barrier to entry, enabling teams to achieve immediate ROI in configuration management and multi-vendor consistency. It teaches the principles of Infrastructure as Code by focusing on the desired outcome rather than a step-by-step process.

Who Should Attend?

Network Engineer/Administrator
IT/Network Manager or Team Lead
Systems Administrator or DevOps Engineer
Security and Compliance Analyst
Aspiring Network Architect/Consultant

For corporate groups, we can organize this training as an on-site private group.
