Course overview
Real-Time Network Automation Projects is a advanced-level course from Tungabadra Networks. It covers 6 modules, is delivered classroom, online (live), and includes 3 applied projects. It is applied rather than exam-aligned.
Real-Time Network Automation Projects is the applied automation course. You build tooling that operates across a device fleet, keep it under version control, and put its validation into a CI pipeline so every change is tested before it lands.
The work is deliberately close to how an infrastructure team actually operates: a shared repository, review on every change, and automated checks that fail loudly.
It follows Python for Network Automation and is the last course in the automation track.
Who this course is for
- Engineers who have completed Python for Network Automation
- Engineers building internal tooling for a network team
- NetDevOps and platform-leaning network engineers
- Anyone modernising a manual change process at work

Projects you will complete
CI validation pipeline
Put the automated checks into CI so every change is validated before it can land.
Drift detection
Detect and report configuration drift against the source of truth, then reconcile it.
Prerequisites
- Python for Network Automation, or equivalent experience
- Comfortable with Git and the Linux command line
Certification
Course completion certificate
Issued on completion. The certificate lists the modules completed and the skills applied. No third-party exam. The output is a reviewed automation repository.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have finished Python for Network Automation?
Effectively yes. This course assumes you can already drive devices with Netmiko or Ansible and want to operationalise it.
Is CI covered from scratch?
Yes. Pipeline design is taught in the course; no prior CI experience is assumed.
