Network to Code Examines Synchronizing Data to Create a Single Source of Truth
It is extremely important that a Source of Truth (SoT) be the intended state of the network when the SoT is used to power network automation. However, it is near impossible to store the authoritative data required to manage network configurations in any single application. This is why it is critical to have a framework […]
Network to Code Demos Using ChatOps to Talk to Your Network
With network automation, you must consider how not only your network team interacts with the network but also your INTERNAL CUSTOMERS. Who opens every network request you work on? How often are you fielding requests to get data and relay it to another team? Wouldn’t it be great to have a bot respond to requests […]
Network to Code NetDevOps-Driven Configuration Compliance
Network Automation is a journey, and there are still growing trends around NetDevOps learning skills and tools such as JSON, YAML, Jinja2 templating, Python, and Ansible. Many engineers make the potentially risky decision of getting started with automating configuration changes. This session walks through how you can take a gradual path to learning and how […]
Network to Code Automates Circuit Maintenances
Managing circuit maintenances and notifications is a well-known problem by network operators. The problem is best seen at the intersection of Source of Truth, circuit management, and network automation. Envision how circuit maintenances are scheduled by Network Service Providers (NSPs), which temporarily affects the actual state of a circuit, and what must be done to […]
Network to Code Nautobot App Platform Overview
Network to Code introduced Nautobot last year in 2021, and it has gained significant traction as a Source of Truth. However, going beyond Source of Truth, Nautobot is a low-code network automation development platform that enables “apps” to be built on top of Nautobot to compliment any network automation journey. This session focuses on Nautobot […]
