The Network Automation JourneyWhat Is The Goal of Network Automation/NetDevOpsIt's easy to be overwhelmed and see all these network automation tools and wonder... what is even the goal? The tools are there to help us achieve our goals, they're not the goal themselves and I talk about how you can pick which tools makes the most sense for you.

The Network Automation JourneyPush Configs from Data Models to Configs: The Genesis Torpedo MethodIn this episode I talk about my preference for generating a new config and replacing the entirety of the old config, every time, much like the Genesis Torpedo from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Adding things is easy, removing stuff is hard. It can be done, but it's just easier to wipe away what was there in lieu of "it's new matrix."

Odin & AesopOn The Border With CrookJohn G. Bourke won the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War. He stayed in the army and graduated from West Point in 1869. Between 1869 and 1883, Bourke served on the frontier with much of that time spent as an aide to General George Crook. Bourke saw action in the Apache Wars and Great Sioux War. He clashed with Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Geronimo. Bourke was a keen observer and chronicled his varied experiences. He published them in 1892 under the title of "On the Border With Crook."

2023-05-2512 minThe Network Automation JourneyIncremental Configuration Change versus Total Configuration ReplacementOne of the things we think about as network automators is the concept of incremental change versus total configuration replacement. Traditionally all our changes have been incremental. From the day a switch/router comes online, it's little change after little change. In this episode I talk about how this changes from incremental changes to total configuration replacement when working with most types of automation.
2023-05-0507 minThe Network Automation JourneyAPIs: Open or Na?In this episode I talk quickly about whether APIs should be standardized.
Pretty much all APIs are open in that the vendors allow anyone to access them and the specifications on how to interact with them are public. But using NX-API from Cisco and eAPI from Arista means using two different sets of commands to do that same thing. Projects like OpenConfig/gNMI are meant to provide a single way to configure parameters no matter the devices through a single data model.
While this is useful, in the data center it's not...

SACKED: AFLTony Jewell - Tiger tales and moreTony Jewell commenced his senior football career with Oakleigh, in 1963. He tried out with St Kilda but failed to impress and was turned away. Richmond, however, decided to take a punt on him and he went on to give them good service, mainly as a half back flanker or back pocket, in 80 VFL games between 1964 and 1970. After a two-year stint as coach of the Richmond reserves, which included overseeing a flag in 1977, he took over as senior coach of the Tigers in 1979. A year later he led them to an emphatic 81-point grand final defeat of Collingwood. Just...

2022-01-011h 01The Network Automation JourneyOn Supplemental and Total AutomationIn this episode, I talk briefly about two different depths of automation: Supplemental and Total.
With supplemental automation, automation is used only on part of a config (SSH keys, DNS, NTP, etc.) while the rest of the device is configured in the traditional (i.e. manual) way.
With complete automation, no more manual configuration is done and the entire configuration is done through some sort of automated means.
