Network engineers are finding it harder than ever to rely solely on manual processes to get their jobs done. New protocols, technologies, delivery models, and the need for businesses to become more agile and flexible have made network automation essential. The updated second edition of this practical guide shows network engineers how to use a range of technologies and tools, including Linux, Python, APIs, and Git, to automate systems through code. This edition also includes brand new topics such as network development environments, cloud, programming with Go, and a reference network automation architecture. Network Programmability and Automation will help you automate tasks involved in configuring, managing, and operating network equipment, topologies, services, and connectivity. Through the course of the book, you'll learn the basic skills and tools you need to make this critical transition. Should Network Engineers Learn to Code? Unfortunately, you aren’t getting a definitive yes or no from us. Clearly, we have a full chapter on Python and another on Go, and plenty of examples throughout the book on how to use Python or Go to communicate to network devices via network APIs and extend DevOps tools like Ansible and Terraform, so we definitely think learning the basics of any programming language is valuable.
