HN713: Network Automation: Where Are We, And Where Can We Go?
Update: 2023-12-08
Description
Welcome to Heavy Networking! On today’s show we’ve got a roundtable conversation on the state of automation in the networking industry. This show was inspired by the recent AutoCon conference, which is a new conference focused specifically on network automation.
Ethan Banks and I both attended, as did two our guests, and we’re going share some takeaways and perceptions of the event, and get into issues such as sources of truth, which was a major topic at AutoCon. We also talk about the learning, cultural, and business challenges of network automation–and how to get beyond them.
Episode Guests:
Claudia de Luna | Advanced Technical Consultant for Networking and Automation, EIA
LinkedIn
Keith McGlon | Sales Engineer, Juniper Networks
LinkedIn
Sponsor: Palo Alto Networks
