This is your comprehensive, holistic, end-to-end practitioner's guide to all things NetDevOps: all you need to use NetDevOps techniques to enhance network agility, productivity, and value.

Enterprise networking pioneers Ivo Pinto and Faisal Chaudhry introduce NetDevOps' origins, components, advantages, shortcomings, use cases, and adoption challenges. Next, they drill down into NetDevOps CI/CD pipelines and testing, Jenkins automation, EVE-NG clientless multivendor network emulation, and more from a vendor-neutral perspective.

Automating and Orchestrating Networks with NetDevOps is for every network or cloud operator, administrator, engineer, architect, and developer who implements, manages, or maintains network infrastructure. You'll find everything from detailed syntax and reusable code examples to deployment best practices, culminating in a full walkthrough of building your own NetDevOps architecture. Throughout, review questions help you reinforce and verify your understanding. Whatever your background or environment, this guide will help you embark confidently on your own NetDevOps journey.

DevOps is a framework and set of practices. The goal of DevOps is to provide smooth, quick, and high-quality products using automation and collaboration between the development and operations teams. The core principle is to add business value to an organization. The DevOps framework goes through the complete process of developing, building, testing, and releasing software (or any product) to the target users as quickly as possible. The DevOps framework encompasses various phases—from the prioritization of ideas by working with business owners, to taking those ideas forward in the development cycle, to validating and finally moving it into production. DevOps does not specify any tools as prerequisites to achieve the previously mentioned goals. However, for automating, collaborating, developing, and releasing software, multiple tools are used during the development and operationalization phases.
