Ansible for Network Engineers

Ansible on an Ubuntu control node against simulated Cisco routers and switches: build the inventory, write playbooks with loops, conditions and checks, render configs from templates, preview every change with --check --diff, take dated backups, find drift, package the work as roles and keep secrets in Ansible Vault. Every lab ends with a playbook that runs clean twice.
