NetOps/SecOps observability is needed for questions such as “is it app or network”, “what happened yesterday”, “can I replay the attack”? Arista’s monitoring fabric solution, through the Big Switch acquisition, offers a context-aware, one dashboard, architecture inclusive of packet modification services, packet/flow recording and replay and deep analytics to assist in rapid resolution of application performance issues and security incident root cause analysis.


Arista DevOps Day in the Life: Config Management and Validation

Personnel: Fred Hsu

As part of a maturing NetDevOps practice, operators need confidence that configuration changes will not disrupt the network. Rolling back an erroneous network change could be “too late” to prevent disruption. Performing pre-validation checks on the configuration provides assurances that the changes are not introducing errors into the desired network behavior. In this session, Arista solutions engineer Fred Hsu demonstrates how Batfish network validation can be combined with Ansible and CloudVision to prevent a configuration error from being deployed into the network.
