Network Automation Tools & Technology
summary
Fast-paced catalog of concrete workflows: Ansible + Jinja templates generate device configs, Git-backed CI validates templates and runs linting, and NetBox as source of truth feeds ZTP, backups and daily compliance scans; telemetry pipelines (Telegraf/Prometheus/ELK/Grafana) enrich metrics with inventory metadata for precise queries; Batfish for offline validation models change impact before deployment; orchestration (StackStorm/Ansible Tower/Jenkins or commercial offerings) wires APIs, tickets and alerts into event-driven automation while warning that untested scripts have caused real outages.
