Digital transformation is driving organizations to adopt new and innovative ways to deliver application services faster, while simultaneously reducing complexity and operating costs. Network automation has become essential to efficiently operate modern network infrastructure. Most organizations have started automating simple tasks and have witnessed significant results.
Holistic Approach
The emergence of DevOps-oriented solutions like Ansible, Puppet, Chef focused more on automation of low-level solutions through design plans and playbooks. However, long term success of network automation requires coordination and governance that can be provided by an advanced automation and orchestration tool. The key to achieving this kind of digital success is a holistic approach to network automation and bring in cross-team collaboration.
Ansible for DevOps
Ansible is an automation platform designed to accelerate DevOps initiatives. Due to agentless nature, Ansible has gained significant adoption, becoming the preferred solution in the DevOps community.
