Automation.Day

Learn how to utilize Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) to automate the migration of virtual machines to OpenShift Virtualization, bringing all the benefits Ansible provides: speed, scale, and consistency. 

Using Ansible playbooks, roles, and certified collections, we will connect an AAP deployment to OpenShift Virtualization to create, populate, and automatically execute a virtual machine migration plan directly from AAP.  After selecting the appropriate virtual machines from vSphere, AAP will generate and run the required migration plan to perform the migration without user interaction with OpenShift. 

We will also demonstrate provisioning greenfield Virtual Machines and "Day 2" activities when provisioning new hosts. When you consider automation at scale for this use case, combined with day two tasks on newly migrated hosts, the value of the Ansible and OpenShift integration is well demonstrated.

Are you automating your infrastructure to increase efficiency and accuracy? What if integrating changes to storage infrastructure are needed within those processes?

Traditionally, integrating storage infrastructure with mainstream automation tools has posed challenges, leading to delays, decreased efficiency, and the risk of human error.

In this presentation, we'll explore Pure Storage's comprehensive integration of its storage platforms into Ansible, the world's leading automation toolset. These integrations empower your automation workflows to incorporate storage provisioning and management seamlessly.

Break down barriers to innovation and empower your teams to deliver secure, sustainable IT automation faster than ever before.

Join Keri Olson for an engaging session as we explore trends in AI coding assistants, including IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed, which transforms IT automation workflows by leveraging generative AI for Ansible content recommendations from natural language inputs. Discover how AI coding assistants can help boost productivity, minimize cognitive load, and accelerate innovation in areas such as IT automation and application modernization.

Presenter:

Join us as we explore how Generative AI (GenAI) will transform network management.

This talk will explore how to build Cisco Catalyst Center open-source AI chatbots and demonstrate how GenAI can simplify configuration management and accelerate network troubleshooting.

In the first part of this session, we'll review the options for building a chatbot for configuration management using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Catalyst Center REST APIs. We'll also discover how to develop an intuitive interface that enables network engineers to consume Infrastructure-as-Code automation easily.

Next, we will dive into accelerating network troubleshooting using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Learn how GenAI can optimize the troubleshooting process, freeing up more time for issue-solving and reducing the time spent on configuration and operational data collection and assessment.

The session will share sample code for the GenAI platform, CI/CD pipelines, and IaC workflows.
