As we have seen on our journey so far, there are numerous scenarios where we can automate a network, from daily or routine tasks, to managing infrastructure from a single controller-based architecture. Building upon those concepts, we will now gain some additional insights for working in software-defined networks (SDNs) and look at some examples of working with cloud platforms.
Some of the key components we are going to cover are:
- Cloud platform automation
- Network automation tools
- Controller-based network fabric
- Programmable network devices
