Discover how to revolutionize network assurance through automation with NetBox Labs and Cisco Catalyst Center. This lab empowers participants to transform manual processes into scalable practices, leveraging dynamic inventory and Ansible workflows for enhanced efficiency and consistency. Embrace a source-of-truth-driven approach to streamline operations and align automation with network intent.

Learn to automate NetApp ONTAP using Ansible. This lab provides an overview of GIT and Ansible to understand how they work together to simplify the automation of NetApp storage solutions.

In this hands-on lab, learners will explore how to build and configure a data-driven automation workflow using Ansible Automation Platform and NetBox. The lab guides users through practical exercises that demonstrate how real-time source of truth changes can trigger automated configuration. Participants will configure NetBox event rules and webhooks to emit actionable events, set up Event-Driven Ansible event streams to receive and process those events, and create rulebook activations that respond intelligently. By the end of the lab, learners will have a working solution that tightly integrates their source of truth with automation workflows—enabling scalable, responsive infrastructure management.

In this hands-on lab, you'll learn how to set up a disconnected installation of OpenShift, allowing you to deploy and manage OpenShift clusters in environments without direct internet access. You'll begin by downloading the necessary OpenShift components on a connected host, transferring them to a disconnected host, and proceeding with installing OpenShift on bare metal servers using the agent-based installer. By the end of this lab, you'll have a fully functional, disconnected OpenShift cluster. This lab is ideal for users working in secure or isolated environments where external connectivity is restricted or non-existent.

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.
