Design-Driven Network Automation And Assurance

At AutoCon0 in November 2023, guest Jeremy Schulman delivered a talk from the main stage about delivering network assurance. If the term “network assurance” doesn’t mean anything to you, think about how you prove after an install or a change that the network is doing what it’s supposed to be doing. If you’re doing it by hand, you’re doing a lot of logging into devices to see that routing adjacencies are what they should be, that there’s reachability, and so on. What if you could automate all of that? How would you do that? Where would you even start? Jeremy has ideas. | LISTEN NOW
