Nowadays the most popular network automation tool is Ansible. CBT Nuggets trainer John McGovern dives into Ansible, what it is, and how network administrators can use Ansible to automate devices.

Ansible was developed by Red Hat and released in 2012. In the world of network automation, there are two basic automated provisioning techniques: pull and push. The push model was one reason why Red Hat gained so much traction early on with Ansible. Using the push model, so long as you have the ability to SSH into a device, you can automate that device with Ansible.
