Heavy Networking 621: Get Scalable Network Automation With Itential (Sponsored)

Network automation often starts with a few scripts you write to handle common tasks. Then you bring in a tool like Ansible or Terraform to really go after infrastructure automation. That leads to team debates about sources of truth and processes to keep those sources up to date. Eventually you find yourself writing glue code to normalize JSON payloads from different APIs just to try to get things done. Meanwhile, all that documentation you meant to write remains unwritten. Technical debt is piling up. The machine you’ve built works, sort of, but it’s fragile. You need a network automation system that isn’t fragile. That everyone in the org can rally around and use. That integrates with the systems you already have. That doesn’t make you get rid of your investment in scripts and playbooks, but helps you bring them under control. Our sponsor Itential joins us to discuss how you can deliver a scalable and sustainable network automation system for your enterprise. Our guest is Peter Sprygada, VP of Product Management at Itential. Show Links: Itential.com/packetpushers Try Itential For Free @itential – Itential on Twitter Itential on LinkedIn
