Course Overview
The Automate Networking with Ansible course by Ansible is designed for network administrators, infrastructure automation engineers, and network automation engineers seeking to master centralized management of routers, switches, and other network devices. This training prepares learners for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Network Automation exam (EX457), a key credential for professionals aiming to streamline network operations across multi-vendor environments. With 85% of enterprises adopting automation tools like Ansible to reduce configuration errors and operational costs, this course meets a growing industry demand for skilled practitioners who can ensure network consistency, compliance, and rapid deployment. It serves as a critical pathway for IT professionals transitioning from traditional networking roles into modern, automated infrastructure management.
Students engage with core technologies including Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Ansible Playbooks, Ansible Roles, Ansible Content Collections, Cisco IOS/NX-OS, and Juniper Junos OS. The hands-on lab environment simulates real network infrastructures using virtualized network devices, allowing students to build and execute automation workflows from a Linux-based control node. Learners configure device settings, manage VLANs and routing protocols, and perform configuration backups across heterogeneous environments. A key project involves creating a fully automated compliance check system that detects configuration drift and enforces standardization across Cisco, Juniper, and Arista devices using Ansible modules such as `cisco.ios.ios_config`, `junipernetworks.junos.junos_config`, and `arista.eos.eos_config`.
By completing Automate Networking with Ansible, participants are fully prepared for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Network Automation (EX457) certification, a respected credential that counts toward the elite Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) designation. Certified professionals report salary increases of 15–30%, with network automation engineers earning between $109,000 and $160,000 annually in the U.S., depending on experience and location. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning journey with Guaranteed-to-Run batches and official Red Hat courseware, ensuring consistent access to high-quality training. Graduates emerge ready to lead automation initiatives, reduce manual errors, and advance into roles such as Automation Engineer, DevOps Engineer, or Cloud Network Architect in enterprise IT environments.
