Network Automation Heroes - Introducing Automation Practices to Teams

In this episode our guest Jeffrey Fredrick, Vice President of Engineering at ION Analytics, shares some of his experiences from the last three decades in helping teams to understand and embrace automation in their practices. Using “Continuous Integration” as the jumping off point, Mark and Jeffery talk through how previous technological shifts, like automated testing and DevOps, reveal patterns that can be used to understand how to succeed with network automation. This is essential viewing whether you are an individual contributor trying to nudge your organization towards network automation, or a leader trying to create the correct conditions for automation to be safely and successfully introduced. Jeffrey is also the co-founder of the Continuous Integration and Testing Conference (CITCON), co-author of Agile Conversations, and co-host of the Troubleshooting Agile podcast. 00:00 Introduction to Network Automation Heroes 01:04 Meet Jeffrey: A Journey Through Tech 03:25 The Evolution of Continuous Integration 05:20 Challenges and Solutions in Software Development 08:58 The Role of Tooling in Continuous Integration 17:48 Sociotechnical Systems and Agile Practices 29:52 Network Automation and Source of Truth 36:02 Evolution of Standards in Software Practices 39:00 The Rise of DevOps and Platform Teams 40:29 Continuous Deployment and Its Impact 41:52 The Role of DevOps Engineers 47:33 Testing and Continuous Integration 50:35 Introducing Automation to Teams 59:08 Overcoming Resistance to Change 01:04:09 The Importance of Business Buy-In 01:10:16 Conclusion and Resources
