In this hands-on lab, learners will explore how to build and configure a data-driven automation workflow using Ansible Automation Platform and NetBox. The lab guides users through practical exercises that demonstrate how real-time source of truth changes can trigger automated configuration. Participants will configure NetBox event rules and webhooks to emit actionable events, set up Event-Driven Ansible event streams to receive and process those events, and create rulebook activations that respond intelligently. By the end of the lab, learners will have a working solution that tightly integrates their source of truth with automation workflows—enabling scalable, responsive infrastructure management.

AI has taken center stage in the automation landscape, transforming how we develop and manage infrastructure. In this hands-on lab, you'll explore how to harness the innovative capabilities of Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed with IBM watsonx Code Assistant—a powerful generative AI service designed to accelerate your Ansible content creation and maintenance. Guided step-by-step, you'll set up and utilize this service within your local development environment using Visual Studio Code, empowering you to automate faster and smarter.
