Author： Matt Oswalt, Christian Adell, Scott S. Lowe, Jason Edelman

Network engineers are finding it harder than ever to rely solely on manual processes to get their jobs done. New protocols, technologies, delivery models, and the need for businesses to become more agile and flexible have made network automation essential. The updated second edition of this practical guide shows network engineers how to use a range of technologies and tools, including Linux, Python, APIs, and Git, to automate systems through code. This edition also includes brand new topics such as network development environments, cloud, programming with Go, and a reference network automation architecture. Network Programmability and Automation will help you automate tasks involved in configuring, managing, and operating network equipment, topologies, services, and connectivity. Through the course of the book, you'll learn the basic skills and tools you need to make this critical transition. You'll learn • Python programming basics: data types, conditionals, loops, functions, classes, and modules • Linux fundamentals to provide the foundation you need on your network automation journey • Data formats and models: JSON, XML, YAML, and YANG for networking • Jinja templating and its applicability for creating network device configurations • The role of application programming interfaces (APIs) in network automation • Source control with Git to manage code changes during the automation process • How Ansible, Salt, and StackStorm open source automation tools can be used to automate network devices • Key tools and technologies required for a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline in network operations Tags
