Speaker: Jeremy Schulman, Major League Baseball
Abstract: In this talk Jeremy will present MLB's approach to network automation and Infrastructure as Code. This system is used to design, deploy, and validate complex multi-vendor networks, in the presence of on-going design changes. The "prime directive" focuses on validating the expected operational state. Jeremy will discuss the architectural elements and the benefits of this methodology. He will also offer a comparative analysis of traditional configuration-management IaC approaches.
