F5, WWT, and Carahsoft attended the F5 DoD Virtual User Group (VUG). To keep up with the growing speed of business demands, there is a pressing need to make programmability and automation inherent parts of operational IT processes. WWT offers hands-on Ansible Automation Training labs to help the DoD learn how to get started using centralized automation tools to manage and deploy configurations.
In this VUG and Lab, attendees learned how to start automating their F5 infrastructure using Ansible. The following topics were covered:
- Setting up Ansible
- Writing your First Playbook
- Configuring Infrastructure Devices with Ansible - F5, Infoblox
- Deploying Applications with Docker
- Using Jinja2 Templates and F5 AS3
- Ansible Tower Overview
- Ansible Tower Projects and Inventory
