Learn to build production-ready Ansible frameworks for large-scale network automation in this 36-minute conference talk from NANOG. Discover how to design modular task file architectures that promote reusability and maintainability across multiple playbooks while eliminating code duplication. Explore the implementation of dynamic inventory systems that automatically discover and categorize network devices, reducing manual management overhead in enterprise environments. Master variable hierarchies and external script integration to enhance playbook flexibility, and develop comprehensive testing strategies for complex automation workflows. Examine dual deployment approaches using both traditional Ansible execution and AWX/Tower integration, along with CI/CD pipeline construction for maintaining synchronization between development and production platforms. Gain insights into API-driven automation platform updates, workflow triggers, and architectural patterns that scale beyond individual playbooks to support enterprise network operations. Ideal for intermediate to advanced network engineers, automation architects, and operations teams with basic Ansible experience who are ready to tackle production-scale network automation deployment challenges.
