100 Days of Network Automation is back, after a stalled start a few months ago with some family issues I am planning to re-start recording tonight and complete what I set out to do!
I will publish the full list of topics when I have completed it, currently up to about Day 60 but if you have a niche topic / video you would like to see - comment below

Would you be interested in a small series of videos titled "Network Automation Basics?" Starting at the very beginning and slowly unwrapping the onion, I'm thinking of starting with basic Ansible, Python, then SOT (Netbox), AWX, templates - just to give a basic understanding of the basics. Let me know what you would like to see me cover?
