The four-day AJAUT course gives students hands-on experience with DevOps and infrastructure as code (IaC) with devices running the Junos OS. Students will learn the tools needed to operate an open-source DevOps environment. Specifically, students will learn to use Docker, GitLab, Ansible, Ansible AWX, the Robot framework, Jenkins, NITA, Event-Driven-Automation with SaltStack, and CI/CD pipelines. Students will learn and utilize the tools to build a working DevOps project using three Juniper vMX devices. This course uses Junos OS Release 20.1R11, PyEZ 2.3.1, Python 3.8.2, Git 2.25, and Ansible 2.49.
