Automate Storage Administration Using ONTAP REST API and Ansible (RSTAPI)

 

Course Overview

This training prepares you to automate storage administration of a NetApp® ONTAP® based system by using modern REST APIs and Ansible. You learn about the structure of an ONTAP REST API. You write Python programs that use the Python client library to create an aggregate, a storage VM (storage virtual machine, also known as SVM), a flexible volume, a qtree, a NetApp SnapshotTM copy, and so on. You learn how to invoke the REST API method in a Windows PowerShell environment to demonstrate popular use case scenarios. You use the Ansible framework to automate and deploy storage administration tasks through NetApp ONTAP modules for Ansible. Finally, you use Python programs and Ansible playbooks to configure your system for CIFS, NFS, and SAN protocols.

This training includes classroom lecture, coding demonstrations, and hands-on programming activities.
