Day Two Cloud 031: Melding Network Automation With CI/CD Pipelines And Infrastructure As Code (Sponsored)
Today’s Day Two Cloud episode explores network automation through the lenses of infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines.
As network automation permeates organizations, does it make sense for network engineers to adopt more developer-like processes, methods, and tools?
Can you successfully automate your infrastructure without elements such as code repositories and a CI/CD processes?
Our guests for this conversation, sponsored by Cisco, are Carl Moberg, Senior Director of Product Management at Cisco; and Kristian Larsson, who has dual roles at Cisco and Deutsche Telekom.
We discuss:
* Infrastructure as code as a valid concept
* Whether network engineers will really use CI/CD pipelines in network automation
* How many developer tools or concepts need to be embraced by operations teams
* Building a CI/CD tool chain
* How to select tools based on your specific requirements
* How version testing becomes a welcome safety net instead of a pain-in-the-butt task
* Grappling with the cultural and process changes
* More
