Heavy Networking 705: Evolving From Python To Platforms For Network Automation (Sponsored)
Today on Heavy Networking we talk about how to get from a handful of Python scripts to a network automation platform that enables a self-service environment and incorporates the checks and governance required to make sure the automation doesn't blow up the network. Our sponsor today is Itential. Itential offers just such a network automation platform. We talk about how Itential makes it happen, including simple and more complex examples.Kubernetes Unpacked 037: Improving The Developer Experience With Continuous Deployment (Sponsored)
