Introduction to Event-Driven Ansible [DO274]

OVERVIEW

Create, deploy, and configure Event-Driven Ansible to run automation code when triggered by events sent by your IT infrastructure.

Course Description

• Introduction to Event-Driven Ansible (DO274) is designed for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and other technical professionals who want to learn how to create, deploy, and configure Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) to run automation code triggered by events sent by supported event sources such as monitoring systems, webhooks, and Apache Kafka. Write Ansible Rulebooks and use them in Event-Driven Ansible controller to react upon events and remediate or resolve infrastructure issues. Learn about key use cases as examples of how to use Event-Driven Ansible  in your IT infrastructure.
• This course is based on Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform 2.4.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.

OBJECTIVES

• Explain what Event-Driven Ansible is, why it is important, and describe its architecture and some of its key use cases and benefits
• Read, write, and test basic Ansible Rulebooks that react to events from various sources
• Explain installation options for Event-Driven Ansible controller and how to install it
• Set up new projects, the automation decision environment, and integration with automation controller so that Event-Driven Ansible controller can launch job templates based on events monitored by Ansible Rulebooks
• Configure and use Event-Driven Ansible to react to events generated by Git operations, such as push notifications or pull requests, and be able to use this to build a GitOps workflow
• Configure Ansible to use network telemetry to automatically respond to events and implement remediation or configuration changes

AUDIENCE

This course is designed for system administrators, DevOps engineers, network administrators, and other technical professionals who are responsible for ensuring rapid response to infrastructure or application events and are interested in implementing issue remediation and resolution with automation.
