Treat network config like code: review in merge requests, validate offline with Batfish, push with a diff gate, and roll back on failure. A GitLab pipeline that turns "SSH in and paste" into a reviewable, reversible process.
A source of truth only earns the name when config is generated from it, not typed beside it. Modeling your network in NetBox, pulling it with pynetbox, and using it as a dynamic inventory so the database and the devices cannot drift.
When Ansible YAML stops scaling, Python automation takes over. How Nornir handles inventory and concurrency, NAPALM abstracts vendor CLIs, and the two combine into config push with diffs and rollback.
A practical guide to automating network infrastructure using Ansible. Real examples from production environments including device configuration, backup strategies, and compliance checking.
