Getting Started with Ansible for Network Automation

This course covers the fundamentals of Ansible, a powerful IT infrastructure automation tool that not only automates repetitive tasks but can fundamentally change how you design, configure, and operate a network.

Course Use Case: The fictional company Globomantics, an industrial parts distributor suffering from configuration drift on its network devices.

Modern enterprise networks often suffer from configuration drift — a gradual divergence between the desired configuration and the actual configuration of devices. This occurs due to undocumented manual changes, human errors during late-night change windows, and the absence of a tool to enforce the desired configuration state.
