It teaches the principles of Infrastructure as Code by focusing on the desired outcome rather than a step-by-step process.

In this course, you will learn: 

• Automate at Scale: Develop and run Ansible playbooks to automate common network administration tasks.
• Manage Multi-Vendor Environments: Use Ansible’s core modules and advanced features to manage configurations on a variety of network devices.
• Build Reusable Solutions: Apply Jinja2 templates and Ansible Roles to create scalable, maintainable automation code.
• Secure Your Workflows: Implement secure automation practices using Ansible Vault and robust error-handling techniques.
