Hi
I am starting using automation on networking (ansible for now) and I wonder what can I learn in order to get more in depth on that.
What I want to achieve is to build a complete CI/CD process that automate testing ansbile playbooks on lab and validating the result before it applies that on production. I am learning gitlab-ci but I dont know what tool I can use to test and validate configuration on my lab.
I learned a bit about pyATS but it needs some python skills, what kind of tools do you recommed to learn instead ? Generally if you have a practical learning roadmap to go in depth in network automation process and tools (used in a lot of production environements) it would be really appreciated.
I tried to follow the devnet associate exam topics, but I found it too academic and dense.
Regards
