Anas Tarsha presented on using Ansible for network automation. Ansible is an open source automation tool that is agentless and uses simple YAML files called playbooks to execute tasks sequentially. It can be used to generate device configurations, push configurations, collect running configs, upgrade devices, and more. Ansible modules run Python code directly on network devices to perform tasks. The demo showed using Ansible modules like ping, ios_command, and junos_command to execute show commands and change the hostname on both IOS and Junos devices. Additional resources were provided to learn more about using Ansible for network automation.
