Manage episode 403587455 series 3444546
This episode was recorded November 2, 2023.
Discover the fusion of innovation and expertise as Danny Wade, whose enthusiasm for network automation rivals his hoop dreams. We kick things off with a jocular exchange and dive into our own tech sagas, which evolved from household tech wizard to a networking aficionado at Blue Ally. Our conversation is a testament to the symbiotic relationship between academic learning and practical experience, all while navigating the complexities of enterprise networking.
Embark on a journey through the intricacies of network automation as we unwrap the benefits of Cisco DevNet's sandboxes and dissect the importance of starting with read-only tasks when automating network actions. The dialogue then takes an informative turn, examining the juxtaposition of automation within enterprise environments and cloud infrastructures. We analyze the effectiveness of tools like Terraform and the slow yet steady shift towards standardized programmable interfaces, providing a blueprint for those at the crossroads of legacy methods and the new wave of API-driven approaches.
As the episode unfolds, we address the elephant in the room: the daunting leap into network automation for traditional network engineers. Sharing candid advice and relatable challenges, we emphasize the power of starting small with Python and Ansible, building up to more complex automation tasks. We also celebrate the craft of technical literature creation, offering encouragement to those aspiring to enrich the network automation knowledge base. So strap in, join the conversation, and elevate your networking game!
