Description
NetBox Automation with Ansible & Python Masterclass. This course provides a comprehensive overview of how to use NetBox as a single source of truth and network automation orchestration tool using Ansible and Python. This advanced course helps network infrastructure professionals transform their network information management system from traditional, manual Excel files to a modern, centralized, and automated database. The NetBox platform is recognized as the industry standard for network information management, and in this course, learners learn how to install, configure, and manage large-scale infrastructures. Course topics include system architecture, installation on different operating systems using Docker, building organizational structures, modeling racks, hardware devices, IP address space management (IPAM), and VLANs. A large part of the course is also dedicated to programming and automation, and participants learn how to automate repetitive network processes using Ansible, the official PyNetBox library, and the REST API. Other advanced topics covered in this course include branching, custom scripting, using NetBox as a dynamic inventory for Ansible, integration with external data sources such as GitHub, and using utility plugins such as topology visualization and BGP. This course provides network and automation engineers with a comprehensive perspective on implementing modern network engineering.
