NetDevOps
NetDevOps = Networking + DevOps • Based on Agile Manifesto
and DevOps culture • It is talking about Network Automation 1. Prevent Fat Fingers Ø“The CLI is Dead, API is Cool!“ (e.g. Ansible, gRPC, NetConf, RESTful …etc) Ø“By 2020, ONLY 30% of network operations teams will use the command line interface (CLI) as their primary interface, down from 85% at YE16.” from Gartner report 2. Repetitive Tasks ØMake reproduce and dispose operations more reliable and predictable 3. Deliver source code ØReuse of known-good automation scripts increases admin confidence as well as task completion accuracy 9/8/17 © 2017 Edgecore Networks. All rights reserved | www.edge-core.com 10 Ref: https://cumulusnetworks.com/blog/netdevops-networking-methods-with-a-devops-mindset/
Infrastructure as Code for Automation Network
Why use Ansible in Networking • Agentless Ø Don’t need
any agent on the network devices • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Ø Same language and docs between Operating and Networking team • Community and network OS vendors driven both Ø Based on Open Source and follow GitHub workflow • Modular framework, easily modified and maintained Ø Simple use and learn 9/8/17 © 2017 Edgecore Networks.

Use Cases: NTT SIC • Network Flexibility − Leverage custom
applications like GoBGP to run directly − Leverage existing tool to monitor all BGP information with InfluxDB, and visual report from Grafana • Network Simplification − Leveraging ONIE to install NOS allowed NTT SIC to institute zero touch provisioning (ZTP) − Utilized custom REST API to invoke Ansible for provisioning 9/8/17 © 2017 Edgecore Networks.

Network Testing
Network Simulator – GNS3 • Used by network engineers worldwide
to 1. Emulate -> Configure -> Test 2. Troubleshoot virtual and real networks • Supports multi vendor environments • Only limitation is your hardware: CPU and memory • Large and active community (800,000+ members) 9/8/17 © 2017 Edgecore Networks.

GNS3 Demonstration Ref: YouTube: Cumulus Linux: Disaggregated networking - why
use proprietary network stacks? - David Bombal
Serverspec • The concept is based on “Switch as a
Server” • Can write RSpec tests for checking your devices are configured correctly • Allows for infrastructure code to be written using Test Driven Development (TDD) for networking • Driven by many of the popular configuration management tools, like Ansible, Puppet, CFEngine and Itamae. 9/8/17 © 2017 Edgecore Networks.

Summary • Emerging trends shaping the data center 1. Hardware
and Software disaggregation 2. Driving network automation is the rapid expansion of network infrastructure 3. Increase strategic workforce, especially software part • Network engineers require skills include − Linux knowledges − Ansible (or others CM tool) − Network programmability skill − Continued learning and Open Mind 9/8/17 © 2017 Edgecore Networks.
