API-driven network devices are much easier to manage and operate than their older counterparts, but that’s not their only advantage. These new devices also enable true network automation, and that’s a real game changer for network engineers. This O’Reilly report explores the capabilities of Ansible, an agentless and extensible configuration management platform that dovetails well with the new trend in software-defined networking.
Author Jason Edelman is a veteran network engineer who firmly believes the way we currently build, manage, and operate networks has to change. In this report, he explains why the network community is rallying around Ansible as a more efficient method for managing and maintaining modern networks.
