Dive into the power of Ansible as a network automation engine purpose-built for managing Cisco network devices at scale. This category covers everything from first-time setup to enterprise-grade playbooks. You’ll learn how to use Ansible’s YAML-based automation model to automate tasks such as interface configuration, SNMP setup, software image upgrades, ACL deployment, and VRF provisioning. Real-world scenarios show how Ansible can be used in ISP and data centre environments with Cisco IOS-XR, IOS-XE, and multi-vendor networks. You’ll also find examples of integrating Ansible with Git, Nornir, and Jinja2 templates for advanced workflows.
