Automating and Orchestrating Networks with NetDevOps (Networking Technology)

Description

Master a holistic approach to NetDevOps―from concepts to practical implementation This is your comprehensive, holistic, end-to-end practitioner's guide to all things NetDevOps: all you need to use NetDevOps techniques to enhance network agility, productivity, and value. Enterprise networking pioneers Ivo Pinto and Faisal Chaudhry introduce NetDevOps' origins, components, advantages, shortcomings, use cases, and adoption challenges. Next, they drill down into NetDevOps CI/CD pipelines and testing, Jenkins automation, EVE-NG clientless multivendor network emulation, and more from a vendor-neutral perspective. Automating and Orchestrating Networks with NetDevOps is for every network or cloud operator, administrator, engineer, architect, and developer who implements, manages, or maintains network infrastructure. You'll find everything from detailed syntax and reusable code examples to deployment best practices, culminating in a full walkthrough of building your own NetDevOps architecture. Throughout, review questions help you reinforce and verify your understanding. Whatever your background or environment, this guide will help you embark confidently on your own NetDevOps journey.
