Summary
In this chapter, we discussed what network automation is, its impact on network operations, and its benefits for the business. We talked about different use cases, from configuration management and network state analysis to running network audits and reporting, to finally look at how to put different pieces together to create a closed-loop system that can help you enforce the desired intent of the network.
In the next chapter, we’ll examine configuration management in detail, one of the more recurrent network automation use cases, and navigate through the options that Go presents to us to automate it.
