Event-Driven Ansible Technical Workshop
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
This is the 90 minute version of this workshop. For the longer 4-hour session please 🔬 click here
As a part of Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform, Event-Driven Ansible can process events containing discrete intelligence about conditions in the IT environment, determine the appropriate response to the event, then execute automated actions to address or remediate the event. This workshop will demonstrate Event-Driven Ansible and how it provides the event-handling capability needed to automate time-consuming tasks and respond to changing conditions in any IT domain.
During this workshop, we will walk through the basics of EDA (Event-Driven Ansible) covering fundamentals such as sources, rules, and actions and the corresponding technology and implementation through Ansible Rulebook CLI, rulebooks, source plugins, and EDA content collections. This workshop requires students to have beginner-level knowledge of command-line Ansible, Visual Studio Code, and Git.
