Onboarding Existing Automations with Itential
Most network engineers are automating some tasks on their networks through a combination of open-source tools such as Ansible and one-off scripts like Python. In this Networking Field Day session, Peter Sprygada, VP of Product Management at Itential, demonstrates how to onboard existing network automations with Itential Automation Gateway (IAG) and share them across the […]
Delivering Network Automation at Scale with Itential
Network engineers are stuck spending their days working through never-ending backlogs of network change requests across multiple network technologies including CLI devices, API-enabled controllers, and public cloud networking elements as well as ensuring adjacent tools are updated to reflect each change. In this Networking Field Day presentation, Peter Spyrgada, VP of Product Management at Itential, […]
Augmenting Network Operations with IP Fabric
Daren Fulwell will present some example use cases of just how customers use IP Fabric to improve their operational processes, and use data from IP Fabric to enrich their wider tooling infrastructure as part of an ecosystem.
Baselining Your Network with IP Fabric
Daren Fulwell will show how IP Fabric discovers and models your network of networks, to show just how your users are connected to their services, your sensors to their data stores, and your workloads to the outside world. And then how we run the rule over that model to present insight into the real network’s […]
Network Assurance with IP Fabric
Daren Fulwell, IP Fabric Product Evangelist, will introduce the panel to our view of network assurance – gaining full visibility of your multi-vendor network of networks and analysing it to determine that it is delivering service as you intended.
Forward Networks Fireside Chat with Andreas Voellmy
Andreas Voellmy, Engineering Director at Forward Networks, sits down with CTO & Co-founder Brandon Heller to answer the hard questions about the evolution of Network Query Engine: “Why did you create a programming language? HOW did you create a programming language? Why not Python?”
Forward Networks Never Quit Evolving with Network Query Engine
How can network operators move beyond the CLI to tackle everyday challenges and get ahead on the path to network automation? Kevin Kuhls, Senior Technical Solutions Architect at Forward Networks, shares the latest improvements to Forward’s Network Query Engine (NQE), a game-changing way to interact with critical network data.
Forward Networks Visibility in the Cloud
What happens when old money meets new money? Their clouds must merge! Craig Johnson, Senior Technical Solutions Architect at Forward Networks, demonstrates how a Fortune 150 company was able to merge AWS cloud infrastructures following a significant acquisition — without disrupting customers or security policies.
Forward Networks The Breach That Changed My Life
“They caught the guy HOW?” Derick Winkworth, Senior Technical Solutions Architect at Forward Networks, dives into the sordid true-network-crime details of “The Breach from Hell” and how it could have been avoided with advanced network modeling software.
Forward Networks All Teams Need Network Data
How can ALL teams, including security, cloud, compliance, applications, and network ops, benefit from access to network data? Brandon Heller, Co-founder and CTO of Forward Networks, shares a story about a very unique hack-a-thon and explains how Forward’s customers achieve network agility, reliability, and security.
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 […]
