English | Tutorial | Size: 178.35 MB
This course will teach you how to automate network device configuration using Ansible, building inventories, playbooks, and Jinja2 templates to deploy consistent, repeatable configurations.
What you’ll learn
Network engineers often configure devices manually through the command line, repeating the same tasks across many routers and switches. As networks grow, this process becomes slow, inconsistent, and prone to human error. In this course, NetDevOps: Declarative Configuration Management with Ansible, you’ll gain the ability to automate network configuration using Ansible and a declarative, desired-state approach. First, you’ll explore how to design YAML-based inventories and create playbooks that manage network devices in a structured way. Next, you’ll discover how Jinja2 templating can dynamically generate network configurations from reusable data models. Finally, you’ll learn how to deploy and validate configurations safely using Ansible modules, check mode, and reusable roles. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Ansible-based network automation needed to deploy consistent, repeatable configurations across multiple network devices.
