intro-ao-workshop

A hands on lab introducing the Ansible Automation Orchestrator (AO), the add-on to Ansible Automation Platform that unifies task-based, event-driven, and AI-driven automation into a single visual workflow experience. Participants build workflows on a drag-and-drop canvas using AAP job template nodes, AI-powered task nodes, approval gates, conditional/switch routing, MCP integrations, and Event Driven Ansible triggers. The lab is needed because AO is a new capability and practitioners need guided experience connecting it to the AAP foundation they already use.
