Episode 67 of Networking Tech with Fexingo explores how network engineers are using SaltStack, an open-source automation framework originally designed for server configuration, to manage routers and switches. Lucas and Luna break down a real deployment at a mid-sized enterprise that cut device provisioning time from 45 minutes to under 3 minutes. They discuss the push-vs-pull model, how Salt's event-driven reactor automates responses to network failures, and why this approach is gaining traction over traditional Ansible-based automation. The hosts also touch on the cultural shift from CLI-driven workflows to infrastructure-as-code in networking teams. If you are a network engineer evaluating automation tools or just curious how modern networks are managed at scale, this episode gives you a concrete look at one rapidly adopted solution.
