Infrastructure Automation Source of Truth - NetBox
Solution overview
This hands-on lab focuses on teaching users how to leverage NetBox, an open-source IP address management (IPAM) and network documentation tool, as a source of truth for Ansible automation. Throughout the lab, learners are guided through integrating NetBox with Ansible, enabling them to dynamically manage their network configurations based on the data stored within NetBox. Users will learn how to use NetBox data within Ansible playbooks to automate network tasks, ensuring that their automation efforts are always aligned with the actual network state as documented in NetBox. By the end of the lab, attendees will have a solid foundation in using NetBox as a dynamic inventory source for Ansible, streamlining their network operations and enhancing their automation strategies.
