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.
In this demo, Nick Thompson will explore edge network automation using Red Hat Ansible and Cisco Meraki, covering the end-to-end branch lifecycle from Day 0 site provisioning to Day 2 operations and from there showing event driven automation. Key activities include configuring devices using Red Hat Ansible platform in front of the Meraki Dashboard and the network environment which includes the Meraki MX68 firewall, MR44 access point, Meraki MT30 sensor and Meraki MV2 camera. Delivering the ultimate in closed-loop automation to reduce incidents and after-hours troubleshooting.
