How Network Automation Is Rewiring IT Operations

Episode 15 of Networking Tech with Fexingo dives into network automation — the shift from manual CLI configuration to software-defined, intent-based networking. Lucas and Luna explore how companies like Netflix and Google use automation to manage tens of thousands of devices, the role of tools like Ansible and Terraform, and what it means for network engineers' jobs. They discuss the 'automation paradox' where simple tasks get automated first, exposing harder problems. Specific examples include Netflix's Spinnaker for continuous delivery and Google's self-driving networks. The episode also touches on the human side: skills engineers need to stay relevant. A concrete takeaway: how intent-based networking can reduce configuration errors by over 50 percent. #NetworkAutomation #IntentBasedNetworking #Ansible #Terraform #Netflix #Google #Spinnaker #NetDevOps #Cisco #SDN #ConfigurationManagement #ITOperations #AutomationParadox #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #NetworkingTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
