Network Automation with Python Remote

We will start with a basic overview, the talk goes over how Python can interact with both legacy and API-enabled network devices. The different level of abstraction introduced in the library can have a dependency on the level of sophiscation the network device provides. For example, a Cisco IOS device without built-in API will require more abstraction than a Cisco Meraki cloud-based wireless controller. We will demonstrate the code examples used in both scenarios. We will go over which libraries and framework are best to be leveraged to perform network automation tasks, monitoring, management, and enhanced network security. This is generally a confusing topic in my prevous talk because there are too many marketing claims by different projects and vendors. During the session, code example will be introduced and further resources will be provided to be explored after the talk.
