The moment you start using GUI with an SDN product you’re back to square one.
That claim confused a few people – Mark left this comment on my blog:

This is a joint post by Whelan Boyd, Senior Product Manager at Optimizely and Remy Guercio, Product Marketing Manager for Cloudflare Workers.
Experimentation is an important ingredient in driving business growth: whether you’re iterating on a product or testing new messaging, there’s no substitute for the data and insights gathered from conducting rigorous experiments in the wild.
Optimizely is the world’s leading experimentation platform, with thousands of customers worldwide running tests for over 140 million visitors daily.

Cloudflare Workers is a globally distributed serverless compute platform that runs across Cloudflare’s network of 180 locations worldwide. Workers are designed for flexibility, with many different use cases ranging from customizing configuration of Cloudflare services and features to building full, independent applications.

Hello my friend,
Three years ago, on the 5th June 2016, we have posted the first article about Nokia SR OS/ Cisco IOS XR interop. We can dispute, if it was long ago or not, but what we can’t dispute the amount of information shared with you since that time on various network and automation topics!
