Why Automate Hybrid Cloud Networking?
Network teams are challenged with managing complex networks that tie together these applications and services across on-premises data centers and cloud platforms. To build connectivity between physical and cloud environments, network practitioners spend time in multiple command line interfaces, controllers, and dashboards. IT teams are quickly integrating new cloud services into the application stack, which puts more pressure on network teams to build the proper network and security infrastructure to support them.
Changes to cloud-based applications and services happens at a rapid pace, which will require network teams to react just as quickly to their changes.
Network automation helps to:
- Remove the backlog of creating on-prem to cloud services because of manual processes.
- Stop misconfiguration mistakes due to “swivel-chair” effect between multiple applications.
- Integrate network changes with existing automation efforts by other IT teams.
