Infrastructure Automation Source of Truth
The Infrastructure Automation Source of Truth learning path is designed to teach infrastructure engineers the critical concepts of managing data for their automation. This learning path will help you understand what a Source of Truth is and what considerations you account for when building your Source of Truth.
Following the Source of Truth overview, you will dive into two specific Source of Truth solutions: Text File-based Source of Truth and NetBox as a Source of Truth.
In the Text File SoT section, you will learn how to use a files-based source of truth in your automation effectively. This module will guide you through different methods of managing and consuming text files as a source of automation data.
The NetBox module is designed to teach you how to interface with NetBox as a source of truth for variable data and inventory.
The hands-on labs for file-based and NetBox SoT are packed with guided challenges to deliver practical practice for the concepts covered.

Programmability and Automation Meetup: Automated Software Image Management
Software Image Management (SWIM) is a repeatable framework where engineers can produce repeatable, safe outcomes for efficient device software upgrades. This results in a faster response to vulnerability management, more predictable maintenance schedules, and hours of an engineer's life saved in the middle of the night.
In this session, Bob Longmore from World Wide Technology helped us answer the question- What if we used AAP and EDA to decouple the tasks involved in this workflow?
NetApp Ansible Automation Lab
Learn to automate NetApp ONTAP using Ansible. This lab provides an overview of GIT and Ansible to understand how they work together to simplify the automation of NetApp storage solutions.
Overview: Red Hat Ansible edge: Branch network lifecycle with Cisco Meraki
The traditional IT operations workflow has always relied on a process and procedure cycle that ultimately requires manual intervention to restore production services and resolve an active incident.
CICD for Automation Engineers
This lab is a component of the Infrastructure Automation Automated Testing learning path in the Infrastructure Automation with Ansible Learning Series. The goal of this learning path is to provide hands-on and practical exposure to the concepts of implementing Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery.
The lab will utilize Gitea as the Source Code Manager (SCM) which includes Gitea Actions for executing CICD Workflows. Gitea Actions map almost identically to GitHub actions so the Gitea specific knowledge gained maps directly to GitHub implementations. The general concepts learning through this lab are also valuable and applicable across other implementations.
