Python for Network Engineers. Network Automation, Programming, and DevOps

Networks form the foundation for the deployment, maintenance, and operation of applications. Python is the ideal language for network engineers, offering tools that were previously available only to systems engineers and application developers. By reading this book, you will transform from a regular network engineer into a network developer, prepared to tackle next-generation networks. The third edition has been completely revised and updated for Python 3. In addition to new chapters dedicated to network data analysis using the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, and Beats) and Azure Cloud Networking, it includes information on using Ansible and the pyATS and Nornir frameworks. Furthermore, examples have been updated for better understanding of concepts and ensuring compatibility.
