We will review:
- Common challenges network architects and system administrators face today and the role programmability plays
- What is Ansible and how does it work?
- Creating basic playbooks in Ansible
- Creating basic playbooks in Ansible around platforms such as F5, IOS-XE, NX-OS, APIC
- Designing templates for simplified deployment of devices and services
- Creating self-service offerings through Ansible Tower and ServiceNow
Attendees will walk through automating the following tasks:
- IP Reservation and DNS Configuration
