pyATS

Session Details

Traditional networking has evolved in recent years towards automated solutions. Infrastructure as code has emerged as a new way to manage network configurations using automation tools and frameworks.

One of these frameworks, Cisco pyATS, offers an even more modern approach towards infrastructure as code and network automation: test-driven automation. Test-driven automation combines elements of the popular test-driven development process, which encourages simple designs and inspires confidence in solutions, with Python-based infrastructure as code to create a revolutionary approach to network automation. The Cisco pyATS framework provides developers with the tools required to capture network state, push configurations, and easily test the resulting network state and configuration against intent.

In this webinar, we will be exploring pyATS, providing examples of test-driven automation, and answering your test-driven automation questions in a friendly, open environment

Software Engineering Technical Leader

"My name is John Capobianco! a 20-year IT professional who has fallen in love with automation! After returning to school I graduated from St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 2003 and started my IT career. In 2015 I was introduced to network automation in the DevNet pavilion at Cisco Live and it changed my life. In 2019 I self-published a book, "Automate Your Network: Introducing the Modern Approach to Enterprise Network Management" to help network engineers embrace the new world of programmability and coding. I am so fortunate to have joined Cisco's Training Bootcamp team as an instructor and Developer Advocate. Please reach out to me directly on Twitter or LinkedIn - it would be amazing to connect. In my time in networking I have achieved my CCNA, CCNP: Enterprise, CCNP: Data Center, CCDP, and DevNet Associate certifications."
