Speaker: Cat Gurinsky
Abstract: How often do you find yourself doing the same set of commands when troubleshooting issues in your network? I am willing to bet the answer to this is quite often! Usually we have a list of our favorite commands that we will always use to quickly narrow down a specific problem type. Switch reloaded unexpectedly? "show reload cause" Fan failure? "show environment power" Fiber link reporting high errors or down on your monitoring system? "show interface counters errors", "show interface transceiver", "show interface Mac detail" Outputs like the above examples help you quickly pinpoint the source of your failures for remediation. SSH'ing into the boxes and running these commands by hand is time consuming, especially if you are for example a NOC dealing with numerous failures throughout the day. Most switch platforms have API's now and you can instead program against them to get these outputs in seconds. I will go over a variety of examples and creative ways to use these scripts for optimal use of your troubleshooting time and to get you away from continually doing these repetitive tasks by hand. NOTE: My tutorial examples will be using python and the Arista pyeapi module with Arista examples, but the concepts can easily be transferred to other platforms and languages.
Applying Platform Engineering Principles to On-Premises Network InfrastructureNetwork Automation Forum
Speaker: Kaon Thana, The New York Times
Abstract: The challenges and solutions of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in the Classic Enterprise Network. As a small team of network engineers at the New York Times we manage many connectivity services such as a production data center, printing plant, corporate WAN, campus wired/wifi network and multi-cloud connectivity between AWS, GCP and Azure. In this talk I will discuss the challenges we faced over the last few years adopting automation practices in the brownfield and and the real-world solutions (with examples) we used to overcome the pitfalls.
This document discusses the challenges of network automation and proposes moving from a Python-based approach to platform engineering. It argues that previous attempts at network automation through abstractions, standardization, and single sources of truth have failed because networks are more complex than other IT domains. The document advocates separating automation and orchestration domains to allow for specialized tooling in each area. It also suggests that networks will evolve through exposing programmable interfaces without restrictions rather than top-down standardization. The document outlines how Itential supports these goals through its focus on network automation, integration of cloud and traditional networks, and partner ecosystem.
