- Networking should just work.
- Current, complicated stack will take effort
- Better methodology = better uptime, agility, security
- Culture (Need buy-in, remember benefits)
- Transactions (Device-level and System-level)
- Simple, well-understood abstractions at the right level
- Source Control (Git)
- Ansible Modules for Ansible, Cumulus
- Also F5, A10, Netscaler, OVS, SNMP
- Python library for simplifying SSH management for network devices
- LOTS of Cisco support, Arista, HP, Juniper, Brocade, Huawei, etc.
- https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko
- Use these tools in a CI Pipeline (Git + Jenkins)
- Start SIMPLE, work up from there
- Communication and buy-in is KEY!
- EVERYTHING is here: https://github.com/Mierdin/nwkauto
- Much more YAML, Jinja2, Ansible, Python to explore
