Ansible for Network Engineers: Quick Start GNS3 & Ansible (Udemy.com)

Excellent course for network engineers who want to get straight to the point. David does a great job of explaining how to use Ansible specifically for Cisco IOS without getting bogged down in unnecessary server-administration fluff. The GNS3 integration is a lifesaver for building a lab without expensive hardware. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their automation journey!

This course should be updated. Some configurations are already changed in newer Ansible versions. Also I understand the need for start with ad-hoc instead of playbooks, buy the videos need to be redone, not just moved forward or backwards. That messed up the learning by the lack of cohesion.

I am at a home office with windows 11 while learning. I have no access to any infrastructure, nor would I want to test on production systems. I do have access to vmware workstation. how can I test these scripts? I could be jumping the gun considering i'm not on section 2 yet, but do you have an emulator i can work on?

clear, understandable explanations with labs. The additional course on Cumulus was a nice bonus. Side note: Prior to purchasing the course, It would have been good to mention the exact requirements of the lab exercises. I found that I was not able to attain one of the L2 switch images used in the course.

This course was close to expectation. I found flow somewhat disjointed. Then again title of course "Quick Start" was spot on for cursory view of Ansible as it pertains to auto-configuring networks. This course is not for anyone unfamiliar or with gaps of knowledge in intermediate network admin, virtualization, containers and programming. I would recommend this course to clients and peers.

David is the best instructor one could get. He've this incredible capacity to understand and deliver the concepts! This course can change an engineers life. Kudos to David for all the hard work and sharing his impeccable knowledge with us. Love and Respect from India.

What's good is that I got the exposure and the beginnings that I will need to go further in Ansible. I did not expect to be an expert by the end and I will have to review the section on Cumulus a few more times to understand what that was all about, but this was a true good beginning.

This is a great introductory course to Network Automation and Ansible. Dives right in and provides you with the tools and resources to get started with automating your network management/configuration right away. David's a superior teacher who points you in the right direction and inspires you to look for answers on your own. P.S: Like stated in the overview this course assumes atleast CCNA level of knowledge. The focus of this course is using ansible to automate your configuration/management and not to teach the basics of network configuration/setup.

Not very helpful at the moment as much of the examples have been deprecated. For now I would save my money until the course is updated and just read the Ansible docs. That's not Davids fault obviously and there are no other courses like this one so still 4 and a half stars..

Instructor sounded very knowledgeable, course material is very useful. It would have been better if more exercises could have been covered. Otherwise everything else was perfect. Accent is not at all an issue.
