I always wanted to find someone who is more positive about AI than I am, while having solid “can deliver working stuff at scale” credentials. Andrew Yourtchenko definitely fits the bill. I first met him (online) when he was still an engineer in Cisco... more

I stopped tracking the (lack of) progress in network automation years ago, when I realized I had nothing new to say. As an eternal optimist, I hoped I was just missing something, but Urs Baumann (the guest of Software Gone Wild Episode 206) destroyed... more

Whenever I’m ranting about vendors changing their data models or APIs with every other release, there is inevitably a vendor engineer chiming in, saying, “Life would be so much better if the customers wouldn’t insist on doing screen scraping for the ... more

Why do we need Infrahub, another network automation tool? What does it bring to the table, who should be using it, and why is it using a graph database internally?

  • Mr

    Great Vendor-agnostig podcast for the network engineer who wants to get their feet wet in the world of Network Automation, Orchestration, SDN and NFV. Ivan is a great host, and tells things like they are, unlike Vendor marketers.

  • Good Topics and Very Informative

    My new favorite podcast for all topics around networking. They do an excellent job of closing every point so it’s easier for the listener to follow along with new concepts. The content is very relevant for the network engineer.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

State of Network Automation with Urs Baumann
Q: Does it make sense to use AI in network automation and where would you use it and why?
AI is most useful at the orchestration and troubleshooting level, helping to reason about the state of the network and assist with diagnosing issues, while leaving device-level configurations to traditional automation and data models. Training data and observability sources are critical, and AI should translate intent into data models before any configuration is generated.
Infrahub with Damien Garros
Q: Would you recommend the tool as the first thing to start if I didn't do any automation before, or shall I get burned with Ansible and the Amulet and Git before and then I will be ready to use your tool?
Honestly, anyone getting started is probably best to go with Ansible.
Infrahub with Damien Garros
Q: If I'm, let's say, a mid-sized enterprise organization and I got sick of YAML and Git and Ansible, why would I use your tool?
You need to put your data somewhere, and if you don't want to put it in Git, then you should put it into a database.
IETF v6ops Working Group with Nick Buraglio
Q: What is v6ops Working Group doing today?
We're in the middle of re-chartering, focusing on creating best practice documents for operators.
IETF v6ops Working Group with Nick Buraglio
Q: So does this explain container networking?
Container networking is networking by people who don't do networking by trade.
