Red Hat Ansible for Network Automation (DO457)

The training equips your teams with various skills for using Red Hat Ansible Automation for Networking to implement a network automation solution, allowing automated/consistent configuration of devices, validation of configuration/detection, remediation of configuration drift, and effective management of the automation solution.
Consequentially, it results in a network infrastructure that can be easily managed and quickly updated even while scaling to many devices. Overall, it translates into cost savings, reduced downtime, and minimum configuration errors. 

The course allows professionals to utilize Red Hat Ansible Automation for Networking for writing Ansible playbooks and launching them to manage the routers/switches/other-devices in their network infrastructure.

In addition, it provides a valuable experience of using Ansible for automating common use cases, and writing playbooks capable of targeting devices made by different network hardware vendors supported by Red Hat Ansible Automation.
