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 that synchronizes data from IPAM/DDI platforms, CMDBs, circuit databases, or any other tool that is the authoritative source for that specific dataset into a Single Source of Truth like Nautobot. This allows users to use existing tools while getting the data into a Single Source of Truth that then has a unified view into ALL data and can be used to power network automation.

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 to bounce a port, check an interface’s VLANs, check a rack elevation diagram, view inventory, view dashboards in tools like Grafana, and a whole lot more? This session showcases network-centric ChatOps demos that combine Microsoft Teams, Webex Teams, Slack, and Mattermost chatting with Arista CloudVision, Cisco ACI, Cisco Meraki, Grafana, Nautobot, IP Fabric, Kentik, Ansible, and more!

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 you can apply those skills to achieve NetDevOps-Driven Configuration Compliance.
