Course Overview
This four-day course introduces students to popular open-source applications that are used to manage Junos OS devices in DevOps environments. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience managing Junos OS devices using Ansible, AWX, Jenkins, Robot Framework, and NITA. This course combines these popular open-source tools with DevOps principles and practices to demonstrate the automation capabilities of Junos OS devices. This course is based on Junos OS Release 22.1R1.10.
