Network Scripting Course Objectives Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: Install and configure an IT infrastructure configuration management automation tool. Create and manage hosts and prepare them for IT infrastructure automation. Run individual ad hoc automation tasks from the command line. Write scripts to consistently automate multiple tasks and apply them to managed hosts. Automate common system administration tasks using an IT infrastructure configuration management tool.
Network Scripting This Week’s Objectives • Install, configure, and test Ansible. • Log onto client system, and verify success of Playbook. • Run an Ansible Playbook. • Install, configure, and test ssh. • Run an Ansible module. • Automate a simple task.
Network Scripting Ansible is a tool that can be used to remotely automate network tasks such as ◦ Provisioning machines ◦ Recreating machines ◦ Tracking changes performed on the infrastructure ◦ Performing software installations ◦ Configuring multiple servers
Network Scripting Why is IT automation important? (Why should you learn it?) ◦ Reduced costs. Automating repeatable operational tasks -- such as application deployment and service fulfillment, change and release management and patch management -- can help IT save money by operating more efficiently, making fewer errors and reducing headcount. ◦ Increased productivity. Workflow automation eliminates manual tasks such as testing, boosting output and freeing up workers to focus on more important projects and be more productive . https://www.techtarget.com/searchitoperations/definition/IT-automation#:~:text=IT%20automation%20offers%20the%20following,fewer%20errors%20and%20reducing%20headcount.
Network Scripting Why is IT automation important? (Why should you learn it?) Continued ◦ Increased availability. One of IT's most important priorities is to ensure the highest level of system availability. By automating backup and recovery systems, as well as system monitoring and remote communication, IT can significantly reduce downtime and expedite disaster recovery. ◦ Greater reliability. Automating tedious, repetitive tasks reduces costly errors by eliminating the human factor. This is particularly beneficial in larger networks with numerous operating systems (OSes). By automating repetitive, manual business processes -- such as doing configuration changes on a server or typing a command in the CLI -- IT operations managers can greatly improve reliability, while at the same time relieving workers of these mundane, manual processes. https://www.techtarget.com/searchitoperations/definition/IT-automation#:~:text=IT%20automation%20offers%20the%20following,fewer%20errors%20and%20reducing%20headcount.
