Why Automate VXLAN & BGP-EVPN Deployments?
Network protocols like VXLAN and BGP-EVPN are frequently deployed technologies because they were developed to provide more dynamic routing and switching capabilities in a highly virtualized data center. While these protocols have certainly helped network engineers create more agile data center networks with less manual interaction, initial deployment of these protocols is complex and even simple data center changes may require updates to network services, which these protocols cannot automate, resulting in manual changes causing missed deadlines, delays, and downtime.
Network automation can help by:
- Automating network device configuration and protocol changes on every device.
- Coordinating network service updates with every network change.
- Reducing risk by automating changes to security devices and services.
