Ansible For Network Engineers – Cisco

We need Network Automation because we want to make things easier.

When you work as a network or system engineer, things will be different in the next few years. Not just devices with SSH tools that you can use to log in to your account. When we set up the network with scripts, we must make it run faster.

Ansible is a simple tool that is easy to learn and very powerful at the same time. It can be used to automate networks. With Ansible, you can do a lot of things quickly and get a lot of logs.

Start from the beginning in this class. Then, as you read the playbooks (or scripts) below, you will learn how to get logs from devices and set them up the way you want. All playbooks are work-related and help you get ready to meet people in real life.

To find out why Ansible is important

A tool called Ansible is very good at making things happen on a network. You don’t need to know how to write code to make your network run smoothly. All you need to do is write a few lines of playbooks.

For example, you can get the CPU levels of 10 devices in a few minutes. But what about 100, 1K+? It’s almost impossible to do one at a time. It shows off its power here. With a simple script, you can get logs from hundreds of devices or set them up.
