Title: Python - Network Automation
Post by: calaesha on February 01, 2016, 11:18:02 AM
Can we get a dedicated forum for Python, TCL, and all around programming in the network? I have many goodies to share.

http://www.networking-forums.com/index.php?board=7.0 is our SDN part of the forums... will that do?

I wouldn't jump to associate network automation with SDN; we can start using that forum for automation and see where it takes off. Just based on user activity within the forums I can't say I expect a whole lot initially.

Well, tell you what... if it's programming for routing and switching, post it there. If it's for security, post there. If it's *true* SDN stuff, post in the SDN part of the forum. Let's see where this goes. :) Enough threads, we get it its own section, if we decide that's what's needed.

But please do share your stuff!

Yeah, you know, isn't the whole SDN term kinda funny?  Didn't software define networking before "SDN" was even in the picture, technically?  I mean.. the hardware wasn't doing it by itself before....

I'm keen to see the goodies. A little while ago I was searching for goodies and didn't find a great deal.

http://www.networking-forums.com/index.php?board=7.0 is now "Programming Goodies and SDN".

Post there, and they will come. Most of us read all the forums and look for new posts, so posts there will not go unnoticed.

Thanks Dean. After posting this we received word from our CEO that massive layoffs will be taking place within the next few weeks. 'bout time I open source all of my projects ;)

Yeah, you know, isn't the whole "network Automation" term kinda funny?  I use Network Automation to push scripts, validate device policies, STIG's, Grab configs. and such on my pet rocks (network devices).   But that's unrelated to the whole SDN and Network Automation thing

Only if I don't have to root for your inferior sports teams.

Not a problem. We really only cheer for the Cowboys when they're winning... and we only notice the other teams when they're in a championship run.

I'm not up on all the AWS fu yet but it looked to me like it deployed a VPC and provisioned everything.

Not entirely sure, looks like it's related to Amazon Web Services deployment.

Yes it created 2 EC2 instances in a VPC and installed Apache on them, then it will do a curl on them to ensure that service is running.  If you have python & boto installed you can run those codes with your own AWS account.
