The Automation Foundations learning path is designed to prepare infrastructure architects and engineers for the journey toward automation. Automation in practice includes a broad ecosystem of skills beyond the specific language or system chosen to automate or orchestrate. This learning path targets building that ecosystem of skills to ensure your automation journey is successful. The fundamental skills covered in this learning path include Linux operating system concepts, setting up your development environment, version control and collaboration features, formats for your data, and application programming interfaces. Each concept covered in this learning path is coupled with both content and hands-on exercises to solidify the knowledge.

In today's complex and fast-paced IT landscape, the need for automation has never been greater. Organizations of all sizes are looking for solutions that can streamline their operations, enhance efficiency, and reduce errors. Ansible stands out as a powerful automation tool, hitting the mark on several key points that make it an ideal choice for teams of all backgrounds and expertise levels.

This learning path is designed to take your automation journey to the next level. The goal of this learning path is prepare you to implement your automation in an enterprise environment using the Ansible Automation Platform.

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.
