Manage the switch like a server with network automation

As companies consider adopting a cloud environment, web-scale principles like efficiency, scalability and intelligent software become increasingly more important. Network automation is one of the key components of this model, limiting resource demand, mitigating errors and helping operators manage more switches. With Linux-based switches, existing automation tools and DevOps practices can be leveraged in networking, also commonly known as NetDevOps.

The very automation tools that have been serving the compute world for years are now being extended into the networking world. You can automate the complete operational life cycle of network devices from configuration and provisioning, to policy-based change management.
