Network Programmability
So recently I have been giving thought about my future in IT and I've been finding myself becoming more interested in network engineering. Something that has steered me in that direction has been the topic of network programmability. I noticed this is an up and coming trend and I find the idea to automate your network… -
Re: Network Programmability
Haven't experienced much with network programmability yet outside of basic expect scripts, etc. Someone can chime in I'm sure but it's still bleeding edge. With that said Python is never a bad thing to learn, I use it to help me with small tasks here and there. I'm currently getting more involved with "Cloud" as there's… -

Re: Network Programmability
Python, bash, Napalm, Ansible, Salt. Those seem to be the most popular currently used in network automation. I'd personally concentrate more on being decent with scripting and learning Ansible/Salt first. These will be much more valuable in the short term than starting down a path of being a Python programmer. Those skills… -
Re: Network Programmability
I'm also getting some 9300's most likely, but don't think we'll be going with DNA for now. We're also a 500 mil company, but as you said, probably too much of an investment right now. For the OP, python is good to learn. I haven't looked at it yet. You can probably check out some affordable courses on Udemy. As networker… -
Re: Network Programmability
Yes, I actually have been working on this for a couple years now. Python is certainly a good starting point. You don't need to become an expert developer to take advantage of Python's capabilities. Even basic scripting is a great way to start taking advantage of automation. I always recommend Sweigart's Automate the Boring… -
Re: Network Programmability
Network programmability sounds really interesting to me as well. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to change jobs in order to be able to do more with it as I'm kind of limited in what I can do right now due to work environment constraints. Although they probably won't fit your definition of network programmability, two… -
Re: Network Programmability
Bleeding edge is right. However, we're seeing more scripts being created to do tasks. Or really, we're seeing more people take advantage of this and Cisco is actively encouraging folks to do these kinds of things. Example: we use ANSIBLE to deploy mass config changes. We use it to set up new routers too out in the field…
