Network Automation in Baby Steps! - Joseph Nicholson

Since 2020, we have developed and refined a selection of scripts used to collect operational data from routers across the NTT Global IP Network, a "Tier 1" IP transit provider. This automation has gone through three major phases. We started with scripts screenscraping data from devices using textfsm and netmiko while being ran in a crontab. We then introduced data collection using Netconf. Finally, we've introduced a Gitlab CI/CD pipeline to maintain them. This presentation will detail what I learned throughout this journey. This is intended to demonstrate that successful network automation can be learned and implemented in small increments as opposed to an all-or-nothing approach.
