In June 2016 I got an interesting idea: let’s create a webinar series with numerous guest speakers that would describe several widely-used network automation use cases.

It took me almost half a year to get there, but finally the first session is scheduled for November 22nd.

David Barroso, the guest speaker in the first session, will talk about the importance of abstracting complex network configurations into simple data models, and illustrate that concept with a real-life fabric deployment.

In the same session, I’ll talk about automated IPv6 deployments: taking existing IPv4 network and adding dual-stack functionality.

Future sessions will cover data center fabric deployments, monitoring network traffic and responding to traffic shifts, and automating network security.
