Netapp Automation

[main sleet]

I want to learn NetApp ONTAP automation. Could someone please share a roadmap with me?

not really sure there is a roadmap, per se.
There is Workflow Automation, which is pretty much gone. That should be replaced with Ansible/Ansible Galaxy.
There is the API set, powershell and python stuff.

Best place to start, would probably be the automation website
https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-automation/

Ansible
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/netapp/ontap/index.html

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/netapp-solutions-dataops/automation/getting-started.html

And a write up from David T at last years Insight

“ONTAP automation” is not its own thing. Pick your automation platform or scripting language of choice. And read the documentation for that platform’s/language’s module. I use a lot of the PowerShell stuff, a colleague uses a lot of the Python stuff.

0-Day automation is not available via API because something like SwordFish is not available… I automated some 0-day in-house stuff using pyexpect through a console server and/or the service processor, it’s a lot of work though. Most people don’t need 0-Day automation.
