Network Automation with Ansible Fast Track Training in New Zealand

  • Learn via: Classroom / Virtual Classroom / Online
  • Duration: 5 Days
  • Price: From €3,243+VAT

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.
