Network automation arises as a necessity to reduce and enhance operability, standardize working methods, and operate on multiple devices in significantly reduced times. The number of individuals interested in this approach is steadily expanding: starting from network engineer teams, automation is now attracting GRC (Governance Risk and Compliance) teams.

Although there are several frameworks available, offering various approaches, Ansible emerges as an intriguing choice because it doesn’t require programming skills, thus offering a notably manageable learning curve.

The Ansible Workbook serves as a guide for students in my network automation courses, providing them with useful “recipes” as suggestions to develop their automations using Ansible. The translation has been automatically generated using generative systems.

The workbook is divided into the following chapters:

• Introduction
• Installation
• Inventory
• One-Time Commands
• Playbook
• Constructs
• Handler
• Parsers and Filters
