In the rapidly evolving landscape of network management, the integration of automation has become a pivotal force in ensuring efficiency, reliability, and adaptability. Join us in this enlightening session as we delve into the world of Network Automation through the lens of Model Based/Driven Management.
The journey begins by unraveling the significance of network automation for operators, exploring its transformative impact on operational agility, error reduction, and scalability. A focal point of our discussion will be the introduction to YANG data modeling, shedding light on its role as a standardized framework for expressing network device configuration and state data.
As we navigate the diverse terrain of network automation tools, our exploration extends to the realm of data formats such as JSON and XML. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of open-source tools as a powerful facilitator in automating intricate network tasks.
The session culminates in practical demonstrations showcasing the open-source application of automation in critical domains-configuration management, service provisioning, and network monitoring. Witness firsthand the seamless orchestration of tasks, empowering network operators to optimize their resources and respond dynamically to evolving demands.
