Requirements
Basic Networking Knowledge: Learners should have a fundamental understanding of networking concepts such as IP addressing, subnetting, routing, and switching. This knowledge is essential to understand the network tasks they will be automating with Ansible.
Familiarity with Command Line Interface (CLI): Comfort with using the command line, particularly on UNIX-like systems, as Ansible commands and playbooks are typically executed in this environment.
Understanding of Basic Programming or Scripting: While not strictly necessary, some background in programming or scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) can be helpful for writing and understanding Ansible playbooks.
Access to a Computer with Internet Connection: Learners will need a computer with internet access to install Ansible, access course materials, and execute playbooks. No specific operating system is required, but a familiarity with Linux or UNIX-like systems is advantageous.
No Prior Experience with Ansible Required: This course is designed for beginners to Ansible, so no previous experience with the tool is necessary. This lowers the barrier for those new to automation and makes the course accessible to a broader range of network professionals.
