Description

Networks in your infrastructure set the foundation for how your application can be deployed, maintained, and serviced. Python is the ideal language for network engineers to explore tools that were previously available to systems engineers and application developers. In this second edition of Mastering Python Networking, you’ll embark on a Python-based journey to transition from traditional network engineers to network developers ready for the next-generation of networks. This book begins by reviewing the basics of Python and teaches you how Python can interact with both legacy and API-enabled network devices. As you make your way through the chapters, you will then learn to leverage high-level Python packages and frameworks to perform network engineering tasks for automation, monitoring, management, and enhanced security. In the concluding chapters, you will use Jenkins for continuous network integration as well as testing tools to verify your network. By the end of this book, you will be able to perform all networking tasks with ease using Python.

What you will learn

Network engineering is in a paradigm shift. Mastering Python Networking (2nd edition) covers network industry trends, CLIs automation using Python pexepct library for low-level network device interactions, Cisco/Juniper/Arista python APIs library and examples, and Python Automation Framework - Ansible etc. This is a great book for network professionals seriously interested in network automation and programming using Python.

This book, right from the start till the very end continues to impress me with the intricacies and the well-developed practical focus on solving current network problems. There are so many facets of networking today which demand attention, amongst which Network Automation and Network Software are probably the most significant. It is here that Eric Chou does a splendid job of simplifying concepts and making the reader focus on the skills to excel in this industry.The best part of the book is how it helps me to test out features in a simulated lab environment so that rather than just going through the paces of reading, we can actually try and test things ourselves. Some of the highlights include having more Ansible 2.5 examples (so awesome!), and a detailed overview on the rapidly changing CI-CD pipeline modules (Git, Jenkins, Testing). There is a complete chapter on AWS networking, which helped me get to terms with the cloud world.Overall, I highly recommend this book for all budding network engineers, software developers and Internet enthusiasts. It thoroughly deserves a place on any network engineer's bookshelf.

I would like to recommend this book to kick start your python learning.It is a must read for Network Engineers planning to learn Python and explore NetDevOps.I’ve read four chapters randomly and loved the details (while maintaining simplicity) of the topics and sample codes were extremely helpful for the first time learners. Amazing piece of work by Eric Chou!
