Peter Sprygada, Itential’s Head of Product, sat down with Philip Gervasi, Kentik’s Director of Technical Evangelism, to discuss AutoCon0’s central driving question: why aren’t we further along with network automation in the networking industry today? They dive into some of the challenges associated with automation and why we might need a big cultural shift as an industry to get more out of our automation initiatives.
The discussion covers:
- Key themes that arose at NAF’s AutoCon0 about the current state and future of network automation.
- Factors that contribute to a lack of adoption, including common misconceptions and some challenges teams face with existing manual processes.
- How defining the difference between automation and orchestration can help network engineers understand their automation goals, challenges, and next steps.
