Impact of Network Automation

" summary

Small network team moves internal routing from OSPF to BGP with a reusable Ansible roles workflow (Jinja2 templates, Netconf via Python libs) and automates firewall rules through CI/CD (Bamboo) so non-experts can push changes. Spine‑leaf clusters are entirely provisioned by automation—only racking and cabling remain manual. A BGP route servers setup running bird encodes site/ISP/action in communities to drain links, fail over data centers, or steer traffic into a one‑click DDoS switch; monitoring via OpenNTI/InfluxDB/Fluentd gives ~2s telemetry so changes are observable immediately.
