NetBox - Zero To Hero Course

Introduction

Hello and welcome to this short course designed to take new NetBox users from ‘Zero to Hero’. We are excited to have you here!

The goals of this course are as follows:

Course Format

The course consists of bite sized modules, each one introducing a new concept or feature of NetBox. Each module is a step in the journey that leads to the deployment of a new branch office network at a remote site for a fictional company.

Each module includes a video teaching you how to interact with NetBox either via the Web UI or programmatically using the REST API. You can follow along with your own instance of NetBox, and all the code is available in the accompanying Git Repository - including a Postman Collection, Ansible Playbooks and Python Scripts - so you will have a fully working code base which you can clone to get you started on your way to becoming a NetBox Hero!
