Networking Field Day saw the return of Juniper Networks as a presenting company. Rodrigo Rovere was a delegate at the event and found what he saw interesting. From a deep dive into their automation solutions, to a look at their EngNet community, it definitely had a lot to offer.
A Special Automated Valentine – NRE Labs V0.3.0
Matt Oswalt announced a new version of NRE Labs, v0.3.0 just in time for Valentine’s Day. The reason for this rapid release is that he demoed the new version at Networking Field Day last week. This new version adds in whole new lesson categories, to get you up to date on the latest tools and workflows around automation. Be sure to watch the full video of Matt’s presentation from the event!
Intentional Infrastructure
For Matt Oswalt, network automation is more than simply about making the lives of network engineers a little easier. It’s a nice side benefit to be sure, but for Matt, the goal for automation must be to make the network more responsive to the applications that use it. You can hear more of Matt from his presentation with Juniper Networks from last month’s Networking Field Day.
New Role, Same Goal
Former Tech Field Day delegate Matt Oswalt surprised some folks by presenting for Juniper Networks at Networking Field Day. In this blog post, he writes about taking a new role with Juniper in a marketing capacity, shifting from focusing exclusively on code into a marketing role. In this, he’ll still be writing technical blog posts, contributing to open source, and researching new topics, but will now have more opportunities to share this with the community. We wish Matt the best of luck in the new role, and look forward to hearing from him more often!
Introduction to StackStorm
Automation is east, but autonomy is hard. Matt Oswalt thinks the answer to making it a little easier is event-driven automation. This allows an engineer to eliminate the weakest part of any system, human error. Instead, by setting up automation event conditions ahead of time, the system can step in when needed. Matt goes through how StackStorm makes this happen. StackStorm has a wide range of support, and a number of different sensors and triggers to make this kind of setup possible.
