To keep up with the growing speed of business demands, there's a pressing need to make programmability and automation an inherent part of operational IT processes. WWT offers hands-on Ansible Automation Training Labs to help customers learn how to get started using centralized automation tools to manage and deploy configurations.

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 lab is an experience of an organization who aspires for digital transformation but fails to realize the technical quality and performance required to fulfill an innovative business objective. We'll walk through a scenario of a time-sensitive business strategy, common issues encountered during development and operations of a custom technology platform, then apply procedural adaptations which increase efficiency, security, and reliability for the technical foundation of the business solution.

This lab is part of the Infrastructure Automation Source of Truth Learning Path and is designed to teach the user how to interface with NetBox as a source of truth for variable data and inventory.

This lab focuses on using Ansible to efficiently manage F5 BigIP configurations. It covers setting up the development environment, working with Ansible inventory, creating playbooks for automating tasks on F5 BigIP devices, deploying configuration changes, and a bonus challenge of setting up an Active/Standby configuration and performing configuration synchronization. The lab aims to provide participants with hands-on experience in automating F5 BigIP configuration management using Ansible.

Welcome to WWT's introduction to Ansible automation for the Dell PowerStore storage platform. In this lab, you will learn the basics of how to automate fundamental Dell EMC PowerStore storage array administrative tasks utilizing Ansible. This lab is estimated to take under 1 hour to complete. The intended lab audience is a systems engineer with a basic understanding of PowerStore and Ansible components.

This lab is intended for internal use only in the Ansible Automation Workshop. Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) is an enterprise automation solution from Red Hat designed to join the power of Ansible Engine for automation with a suite of products that allow you to centralize, standardize, and operationalize your enterprise's automation at scale. This **hands-on** lab is designed to accompany the instructor-led workshop and provides exercises for practicing what you've learned about the Ansible Automation Platform ecosystem. The full instructional content is available in the [Infrastructure Automation with Ansible Automation Platform Learning Path](https://www.wwt.com/learning-path/infrastructure-automation-with-ansible-automation-platform), which includes these hands-on labs plus additional instruction to teach you about AAP.

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.

Learn to automate Pure FlashArray on Purity using Ansible. This lab provides an overview of Ansible and dives into how it works together to simplify automation for Pure Storage solutions.

Ensuring your code meets syntactical and style standards is an important part of the automation development process. This training lab will introduce you to different linters that can be used in an Ansible automation development lifecycle. A linter is a tool that analyzes source code to identify and report potential errors, bugs, stylistic errors, and other issues, helping to improve code quality. You will learn about two different linters and multiple points of execution to ensure that only clean code reaches your production branch.

Explore the fundamentals of Ansible Molecule in this hands-on lab, designed to introduce learners to automated testing for Ansible roles and playbooks. Participants will gain practical experience in setting up test scenarios, running Ansible Molecule's various stages from the command line, and integrating Ansible Molecule with a CICD pipeline.
