Ansible for Networking Engineers

About the webinar

I cannot think of a reason why a network engineer would not subscribe to these webinars, unless of course he does not want to grow.

Juan J Martinez

Good session, though it strikes me that I'm going to have to watch it again for the details to sink in.

Mark Greenlaw

It helps you to get an faststart with ansible and network "auto" configuration. It is a very good starting point to understand the basic mechanics of ansible

Basile Bluntschli

Great introduction to network automation

Nitya Ganesan

It's a good starting point to trigger the techie-bone and start trying out with examples

Kurt Wauters

Really good kick-start for Ansible from networking point of view.

Jaakko Rautanen

worth every second of my time, especially after being presented some of the ansible quirks and best practices that I already had been trying to wrap my head around for hours

Unknown User

It gave you a complete foundation and skills to get started automating your network

Reynold Tabuena

This webinar is very comprehensive compare to any other ansible webinar available out there. Ivan does great job of mapping and using real life example which is directly related to daily tasks.

Krunal Shah

This is a great place to learn Ansible and Network Automation from scratch. Starting with an emphasis on the fundamentals (yaml, json, jinja2, how to group your network devices for automation, etc.) you progressively build up towards useful network automation. Most lessons are accompanied by questions and challenges, some of which require extra research which I find really solidify the understanding of what you're leaning. Finally, having access to their network automation slack is great. Even if you don't participate in the conversions, you can learn a lot just by reading through the conversations.

Samuel Robillard

Ivan gives great examples and logic that you need to get started and keep you involved.

John Jenks

Awesome webinar, full of interesting new content for a network engineer.

Gabriel Sulbaran

To me, you can only fully understand the "Using NAPALM with Ansible" when you do the "Validation Network Device State with NAPALM" as well if not before.

Andrea Di Donato

Like everything on the ipspace this webinar is great!

Adis Cato

This webinar helped me a lot in understanding Ansible and the benefits we can gain. It is a big area to grasp for a non coder and this webinar was exactly what i needed to get started(in a lab), a lot of tips and tricks and how to think.
It was more fun than i expected so started with Python just to get a better grasp of programing and Jinja.

Mikael Eriksson

This is one of the best courses on Ansible I saw. It will give you all the knowledge and skills needed to automate your network with confidence. Highly recommended.

Henrique Lopes

We have varying degrees of experience, and it works for the novice as well as the senior engineers. While I have been in the field for a while, this is a newer technology that we have not used and this course has been very useful

Teresa Shibao

Do you need really to start with Jason, Yaml, Jinja, Ansible. Go here.

Rafa Cenak

One can't say there is no good information available in the webinar. It is entirely possible to learn a few nice tricks, or at least find a thread to pull on and get somewhere. However, I must say it was a big disappointment to me. For the price I paid, I expected so much more.

First, the format is just unacceptable for todays standards. Low video quality, the delivery is not engaging at all with a monotone and slow speech.

Also, the content itself is outdated, with videos from 2015, 2016 and 2017. Important bits changed in the past years and the material was not properly updated.

Something like this should be made available for a symbolic price. Either update the whole thing, or stop charging top money for it.

Andre Lima

Best course regarding ansible network automation in my opinion. Provides all the tools and knowledge needed to get started and more depending on how deep you want to get and where you want to take it

ERIC MARTINEZ

About the instructor

Ivan is the man, period.

Juan J Martinez

About the materials

Live demo GOOOOOOOOD.

Ed Weadon

I would like to see more generic API example, such as integrating to ODL and such.

Srinivas Ram

not sure whether you'd like to encourage that behavior, but I'd like a bulk download helper for offline viewing of the videos.

Unknown User

It nice to have some more real world use case

Reynold Tabuena

Very well organized.

Krunal Shah

Some of the lessons seemed a little chaotic, which is understandable given the content they were covering. I really liked the presentations and how Ivan would draw out some of the concepts. The only drawback with that is while doing some of the challenges, if don't quite remember one of the concepts that Ivan was explaining in depth, I have to go back in watch the video rather tham just look through the slides. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it forces to get a good grasp on what he's saying. But in terms of efficiency, if there was a document of "lesson notes" or something which break down some of his explanation, I think that would be a very useful reference document.

Overall, the course materials were great. The course really allowed me to jump into network automation head first, rather than just scratch the surface as I had been doing beforehand

Samuel Robillard

great stuff

Adis Cato

I would like to end this review by thanking you for all the great content i have been able to watch and learn from.
