The Ansible Workshops repository is a comprehensive training resource maintained by Red Hat that provides structured learning materials for the Ansible Automation Platform. The repository is written primarily in Jinja and serves as the source for workshop content accessible through a live website at ansible.github.io/workshops, which offers filtering and search capabilities for browsing the full workshop catalog.
The repository organizes training content into multiple duration formats to accommodate different learning schedules. The 90-minute workshops cover specialized topics including AI-driven Ansible automation, Event-Driven Ansible fundamentals, network automation, RHEL automation, Windows automation, cloud automation, ServiceNow integration, Ansible Lightspeed development, and Day 2 operations with OpenShift Virtualization. The 4-hour workshops extend learning on mission-critical automation with Event-Driven Ansible, combined Event-Driven Ansible and ServiceNow training, Lightspeed development, and Configuration as Code for the Ansible Automation Platform. The 6-hour workshops provide deeper dives into RHEL automation, network automation, Satellite integration, and RHEL in-place upgrade automation.
Beyond standard workshops, the repository includes event kits designed for regional conferences and customer engagement. These include full-day Ansible Automates events styled after AnsibleFest, in-person and virtual event kits, 3-hour account expansion events, decision-maker nurturing sessions, and executive peer-to-peer roundtables. The repository also maintains a one-stop shop resource that serves as a hub for accessing the full workshop catalog from source.
The repository supports multiple network vendor platforms, as indicated by its topic tags including Cisco, Cisco IOS, Juniper Networks, and VyOS, reflecting the breadth of network automation scenarios covered. Product demos are available in a dedicated sandbox area for experimentation and development purposes.
The repository includes comprehensive documentation for workshop contributors and administrators. This documentation covers workshop attendance tracking, contribution guidelines, AWS Lab Provisioner usage, frequently asked questions, and the release process. The materials are designed to support both self-paced learning and instructor-led training scenarios.
The repository connects to broader Red Hat training ecosystems, including links to Red Hat Training and Certification for the Ansible Automation Platform, self-paced labs available through red.ht/ansible-labs, trial subscriptions, and community resources including the Ansible Forum. The README is available in multiple languages, with English and Japanese versions provided to support international audiences.
