Streamline and centralize your network infrastructure management using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

The training is designed for network administrators and infrastructure automation engineers who want to automate switches, routers, and network devices across their organization.

You’ll learn how to use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to remotely configure network devices, perform compliance checks, validate configurations, and detect configuration drift — ensuring consistency and reliability across your infrastructure.

This course is based on Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform 2.3.

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

Prerequisites

Experience with network administration and understanding of TCP/IP, routers, and managed switches.
Familiarity with CLI management on devices such as Cisco IOS / NX-OS, Juniper Junos, or Arista EOS.
Knowledge equivalent to Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) or higher.
No prior Ansible experience is required.

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for:

Network administrators managing enterprise-scale infrastructure.
Network automation engineers adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
DevOps or infrastructure specialists looking to automate cross-vendor devices.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this training, you will have gained knowledge and skills in the following areas:

Prepare and configure a development environment for Ansible network automation.
Write, troubleshoot, and optimize Ansible Playbooks for network management.
Collect and back up network configuration data for visibility and recovery.
Automate real-world network use cases: configuring routers, switches, VLANs, SNMP, and routing protocols.
Manage multi-vendor network devices (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, etc.) using Ansible Playbooks.
Store and execute automation code via Git repositories and automation controller.
Reuse proven automation code using Ansible Roles, Content Collections, and validated content.

Impact on the Organization

By adopting Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for network operations, organizations can:

Increase operational efficiency and reduce manual configuration errors.
Ensure consistent, repeatable, and compliant network changes.
Use the same automation tools for Linux, Windows, and network infrastructure — simplifying auditing and maintenance.
