Introduction to Network Automation

Introduction to Network Automation gives beginners a clear and structured starting point for understanding how network operations can be automated. The course begins with operating system basics and command-line fundamentals, then introduces scripting, data formats, APIs, version control, and automation tools commonly used by network engineers. Learners build an understanding of how automation can collect network information, apply repeatable changes, reduce manual errors, and support more consistent infrastructure workflows. The course also helps learners see how automation improves efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in modern network environments. This course is designed for learners who are new to automation and need the foundational knowledge required before moving into advanced network programmability, orchestration, or controller-based automation.
