Speakers:
Mircea Ulinic, CloudFlare, Inc.

In this tutorial we will see how easy is today to implement the automation methodologies in our multi-vendor networks, no matter the size! We will see how to install the tools, setup the environment and then use. Without diving into the programability level, we will focus mainly on the usability and how network engineers can achieve the goals of network automation without getting lost in complex systems, programming languages, encryption systems, databases etc. Prerequisites for the attendees: - a computer - one or more VM(s) from their favourite vendor(s) - very basic knowledge of the Python Virtual Environments: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/lates... - very basic understanding of Jinja: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/dev/templ... - understanding of YAML: http://www.yaml.org/start.html
