Infrastructure as Code for Enterprise: SD-WAN and Zero Trust
summary
Claims of real deployments: a 500+ site estate moves from days to 15 minutes for global changes with a 95% success rate. Implementation uses Cisco SD‑WAN components vManage vSmart vEdge, YAML templates in Git, GitHub workflows and CI/CD with automated validation, phased rollouts and automated rollback. Cisco ACI handles data center policy, AWS Transit Gateway / Azure Virtual WAN for cloud, telemetry every 60s for interface/utilization and application SLAs, and microsegmentation isolates SCADA.
