Creating a Single Source of Truth for Enterprise Network Automation

November 29, 2022

Network Automation continues to grow by companies independent of size or vertical. However, larger Enterprise organizations have significant more challenges as it comes to managing the data that ultimately drives network automation. This includes everything from inventory, VLAN IDs, and IP Addresses to BGP ASNs and Firewall Policies. In large organizations, there is not one data owner. There are different teams and tools that need to be integrated to generate the intended configured state of the network.

This webinar provides an overview of Nautobot Single Source of Truth (SSoT), which is an application framework built on top of Nautobot to simplify integrating distributed data sources.  Nautobot SSoT unifies data sources, exposes them centrally through REST and GraphQL APIs and allows data owners to remain in control of their own data. Join this webinar to learn more about Nautobot SSoT and how it can integrate with common data sources such as IPAM (Infoblox), circuit databases, ITSM and CMDBs (e.g. ServiceNow) as well as network controller platforms like Arista CloudVision, Cisco ACI, VMware NSX, and many more.

Agenda:
  • Current State of Enterprise Network Automation 
  • Enterprise Data Management & Governance
  • Introduction to Nautobot SSoT
  • Existing Nautobot SSoT Integrations 
  • Nautobot SSoT Demos 
  • What’s next for NTC in Data Management

John Anderson

Principal Consultant & Nautobot Product Owner (Network to Code)

At some point, every organization on their network automation journey ends up with script-sprawl. This is when every person or every team gets excited after learning some Python! However, in an Enterprise environment, controls are needed, and moreover, there is a great need to execute those scripts well beyond using the Python shell. Being able to execute scripts directly from a self-service form or an API greatly increases the odds of empowering other teams to take advantage of the automation.

In this webinar, you will learn how you can easily enable self-service and API access to any Python script with Nautobot Jobs. You’ll get to see how to update an existing script, so it’s usable by Nautobot (including how to schedule and approve Jobs), but also how to properly version control your Jobs in Git too so everyone can collaborate and contribute across your team.

Agenda:
  • Day in the Life of Getting Started with Network Automation
  • Introduction to Nautobot Jobs
  • Diving into Jobs with Schedules, Approvals, and JobHooks
  • Nautobot Jobs Demos

Speakers:

John Anderson

Principal Consultant & Nautobot Product Owner (Network to Code)
