There’s probably no hotter topic in networking right now than automation. At Networking Field Day, we got to hear the debut presentation by Network to Code and see what solutions they offer in the area. This post helps to introduce the company’s overall mission, be sure to check it out before diving into the video coverage.
Automated Testing & Intent Verification for Network Operations
Jason Edelman considers why networks often lack the robust testing tools that are the bedrock of software development. He recently saw a solution from Veriflow at Networking Field Day that might move networking closer to having better preemptive testing. They offer built in consistency and intent-based checks to define the state of the network and when something appears out of compliance. He also likes that their platform exposes all of this functionality via a RESTful API.
Arista’s Programmability Strategy
Jason Edelman takes a look at the five components of Arista’s programmability strategy, as presented at Networking Field Day last month. These include EAPI, OpenConfig, NetDB Streaming, Turbines, and EosSdk. Jason breaks down each, weights the merits of the approach, and concludes with how he’d like to see Arista evolve their roadmap down the road.
