Description
Configuration management is not just about backing up configs into source control. Leveraging tools like Ansible, Salt, Chef or Puppet allow you to interact with the configuration of network devices via abstraction and automated framework to save us from the pitfalls of "Finger Defined Networking". Scripts are a great first step to automation, but they require maintenance and strong programming skills. Configuration Management leverages scripts that are maintained by the community of vendors and OpenSource. With them you provide the configuration intent in a simple and consistent fashion, and the details of implementation are handled by the tooling. In this session we will explore how the same tools system admins are using to manage servers, cloud and applications can be leveraged in the network to foster a DevOps culture across silos in the organization.
